Winter Academy Gets Going
The Johnsonville Cricket Club Winter Academy is currently running its Term 2 programme.
About 50 young players are being coached on Sunday afternoons at the Farnboro Centre - the all weather 3 wicket facility - bottom field at Onslow College.
The programme concentrates on mastering the basic essentials of cricket with all facets covered batting, bowling and fielding.
You do not need to be a Johnsonville Junior registered player to get involved.
Limited spaces are still available for Term 3
Term 3 Dates:
July 4th - Catch up Session (Term 2 Players and batting Video Analysis - New Term 3 Players)
July 18 -Batting & Bowling
Aug 1 - Batting & Bowling
Aug15 - Feilding
Aug 29 - Bowling Video Analysis & Batting
Sept 5 - Bowling & Batting
The Term 2 players are well into their programme having completed their "self assessment" and undergone a comprehensive batting video analysis session. Its amazing what you don't see when watching batting live. Each player gets personalised individual feedback from the coaches and a condensed video clip by email. Recommendations are recorded in their "Coaching Log Books" so remedial action if necessary is always easily and quickly referred to and is accessable to other coaches outside the academy.
Coaches Analysis:
Relevent and personalised - emailed to each player.
After all sessions are completed players will make up JCC Academy teams for some preseason game(s) against Wairarapa, Horowhenua and Kapiti to test their skills and analyse progress and development the programme has delivered.

Hastings Camp Tournament (January 2011):
2011 Camps
The dates are still to be formally confirmed, however every indication is that they will be as follows:
U10 - Thursday 6th to Saturday 8th January
U13 - Sunday 9th to Wednesday 12th January
U11 - Wednesday 12th to Saturday 15th January
U12 - Sunday 16th to Wednesday 19th January
U14 - Girls Wednesday 19th to Friday 21st January
Please note that the Colgate Games will be held in the Hawkes Bay over the 7-9 January 2011, so accommodation is expected to be tight for the U10 and start of the U13 tournaments (with bookings already being taken for 6-10 January 2011).
In particular players/parents from the current U9 Kiwi Trophies, Jville Motor Doctors, Perry Barber Builder and Wrightway Homes teams should consider making 'provisional' bookings if you think you may participate in the U10 cricket camp.
The Hastings Camps are something the club has been involved with for many years and are really and invaluable experience not only for the cricket aspect and opportunity, but also for the team building comradery that comes with staying together at the Riverbend Camp.
The club acknowledges and appreciates the support from the Hutt Mana Charitable Trust in assisting with costs of our participation at Hastings.
