Milo in2Cricket Program (Formerly Milo Have-A-Go)

Click to download poster		 Milo In2Cricket is the brand that Cricket Australia uses to for Cricket’s Junior Development Program. It is similar in nature to Auskick (AFL footy).

Milo In2Cricket replaced the program formerly known as MILO Have-A-Go Cricket that has been delivered through our cricket club for more than ten years. Come along to our “Bring a Friend Day” – FREE Junior Clinic on Sunday 11th October 2009 from 10am to register.

The Milo In2Cricket program is run as an introductory cricket program for boys and girls aged 4 to 9 years old. The program looks to educate children in a range of fundamental motor skills important to children’s physical development as well as teaching basic movements such has hitting, catching, throwing, running, balance and co-ordination for varying individual skill and age levels. Important social skills including teamwork, co-operation, communication, and fair play are outcomes of the program.

Typically our program break the kids into groups using soft rubber and tennis balls and small and medium sized plastic bats:

Have-A-Go is for :
*4-6 yr old Boys and Girls
Learn-The-Game:
*6-7 yr old boys and girls, depending on their skills and enthusiasm they may skip this step.
Have-A-Game:
*7-8 yr old Boys and Girls, which uses lightweight pads and wooden bats.

Volunteer Centre Co-ordinators at the Knox Gardens Cricket Clubs, run the program. At Knox Gardens we give all participants a BONUS week compared to other centre's increasing the value and the learning. Our program runs weekly during the Summer Season. The 2009 program will start on Friday 30th October 2009 at 6.30pm.

All participants receive:
* A structured 13 week program (1 hour per week), which seeks to provide each participant with the opportunity to develop cricket skills, physical fitness, social skills, sportsmanship and understanding of the game of cricket.
* An exciting giveaway pack exclusive to the program which includes a cricket bat, cricket ball, hat, T-shirt, activity book, Sticker Stumps, MILO sample, DVD and more.

By being involved in the Milo In2Cricket program, children begin to enjoy Cricket and one day may become a Test star like Ricky Ponting, there is no better place to start.

We help each child to progress with their cricket and have programs starting at U/10, then U/11 & U/12 to continue playing Cricket. We also have Girls only Teams in U/11 and U/13 which allow girls to play up to 2 years outside of their age group. All age groups are calculated as at 1st September each year.

Cost to participate is $50 and all boys & girls receive a trophy at the end of the 12 weeks.
