49th Annual Report for Season 2009/2010 - Queensland Cricket

House charities. Mark Buglar initiated this idea many years ago with Rod Chiapello, McDonalds Bracken
Ridge. Doug Locke (Junior Coaching Coordinator & Club BNJCA Delegate) for working with HPC and Qld
Cricket and arranging various skills sessions for the players throughout the season, and of course our wonderful
Statistician Dick Johnson, for the many hours of submitting results to the BNJCA and keeping the club stats up
to date. To all coaches and managers, thanks for your time given to our juniors and the club. To the many team
scorers, well done and thanks for making Dick’s job a little bit easier each round.
To Sue Barsby for the time and effort put into the club canteen each Saturday morning, as well as many
afternoons re stocking and cleaning. We appreciate the food and drinks on a hot Saturday morning of cricket.
Thanks to all of our volunteers and teams that were on roster each game day.
To our grounds man J P Stewart, for the wonderful work in preparing the grounds for our juniors to be able to
play on no doubt some of the best grounds in the BNJCA competition.
Our Presentation day on Saturday 27 March was made significant with the attendance of many past and present

your commitment to ensuring the juniors continue to flourish. Apologies on the day were from Mr Simon
Beattie, Mr Bob Conquest, Mr Martin Kent, Mr Shane Jurgensen and Mr Mark Buglar. Thank you to all

Junior President
JUNIOR COACHING DIRECTOR
A new Committee position of Junior Coaching Director was tabled at the Sandgate Redcliffe Junior Cricket
AGM. I was nominated for the position and accepted the nomination.
The 2009/10 season was another memorable season for the Junior Gators. A close inspection of each of the
team’s reports highlights the excellent standard of cricket our junior players displayed throughout the season.
All junior teams had coaches and managers appointed before the official start of the season. Teams were
provided with kit bags containing new and older gear that was still in good condition, training balls and first aid
kits.
A number of training aids were purchased and distributed to coaches for use during training and during
competition games. Coaches were encouraged to borrow training equipment and at various times throughout
the season swap equipment with other teams.
Various coaching sessions were held throughout the season. Below is a list of Junior coaching activities
conducted this season:
• Club coaches - Under 9 orientation afternoon;
• Australian Cricket – Milo In2Cricket;
• High Performance Coaching - batting session;
• Queensland Cricket Development Officers - bowling session;
• ACB Fielding Coach Mike Young – fielding;
• High Performance Coaching – Individual team training sessions; and
• High Performance Coaching - Trevor Hohns Cricket Camp.
Recommendations for season 2010/11 include securing dates for coaching sessions before junior sign on. These
sessions can then be advertised to all players as they begin the new season.
Focus areas should include:
