BENTLEIGH CRICKET CLUB 11/12 <strong>Pre</strong>-<strong>Season</strong> edition<br />
<strong>Bentleigh</strong> Launches <strong>Cricket</strong> Academy<br />
After months of planning, <strong>Bentleigh</strong> <strong>Cricket</strong> <strong>Club</strong> has officially launched its <strong>Cricket</strong> Academy.<br />
The <strong>Bentleigh</strong> <strong>Cricket</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>Cricket</strong> Academy is a joint partnership between the <strong>Bentleigh</strong> <strong>Cricket</strong> <strong>Club</strong> and<br />
Woodards <strong>Bentleigh</strong> that seeks to provide a pathway for junior cricketers moving from junior to senior<br />
cricket.<br />
This will be done by providing specialist coaching in the areas of Batting, Bowling, Fielding and Fitness, in<br />
order to better develop participants skills and their general understanding of the game.<br />
One of the goals of the Academy will be to provide young cricketers with the tools that will enable them to<br />
progress through to the 1 st XI at <strong>Bentleigh</strong>, and beyond.<br />
The Academy will focus on encouraging, preparing and developing junior cricketers to pursue their goals in<br />
the sport, and to assist them in achieving at their highest level possible, be that at <strong>Bentleigh</strong>, <strong>Pre</strong>mier<br />
League, State or International level.<br />
Players will be selected by the <strong>Cricket</strong> Department and are invited to take part in the Academy prior to the<br />
start of each season.<br />
By providing junior players this opportunity, the Academy aims to retain young people in cricket and help<br />
them to maintain and improve their ability and skill level, affording them the opportunity to progress within<br />
the sport.<br />
The Academy is proudly supported and sponsored by Woodards <strong>Bentleigh</strong>.<br />
Glen Eira Council Community Grant<br />
<strong>Bentleigh</strong> was awarded a grant in the 2011-2012 Glen Eira City Council Community Grants Program.<br />
Council's community grant program assists not-for-profit, community based organisations to<br />
implement projects and activities which meet identified community priorities and which benefit Glen<br />
Eira ratepayers.<br />
The aim of the program is to strengthen community connections; develop an accessible and inclusive<br />
community; encourage community initiatives that promote self-sufficiency and innovations; and help<br />
strengthen local participation in the planning and implementation of services.<br />
The <strong>Club</strong> was awarded funding to assist with the purchase and installation of audio visual equipment in<br />
the social rooms at <strong>Bentleigh</strong> Reserve. This equipment will be used by members to make<br />
presentations, speeches and addresses and will allow the club to become self-sufficient in hosting its<br />
own social functions, such as the junior presentation night, without the need to hire audio equipment.<br />
<strong>Bentleigh</strong> <strong>Cricket</strong> <strong>Club</strong> acknowledges and thanks Glen Eira City Council for their continued and<br />
ongoing support of the <strong>Club</strong>.<br />
