Stories

“The best day for me this season was the last day of cricket, the wind up. Anton was so excited to play parents / support v players.The players won and they loved the bragging rights. The trophy presentation was where I saw not only Anton, but all the players beam with pride about their achievements this season. They were all talking about how they were going to bring their medals to school the next day to show their classmates. Every single one of them congratulated each other on their medals and patted one another on the back. Anton was on a high for days.”

Stories

“This season we are coaching/team managing using the Top 10 tips resource; this applies for ALL players not just players with autism. We were lucky enough to have Josh come to our club and meet with our coaching staff and they all agreed that this was a really good tool and are all using it.”

“Cricket came into Boyd’s life when he was a bit older, but it’s been the best thing to happen to him. I honestly don’t know what we’d do without it. What cricket has done is give him a community and something he can be really good at. It has given him so much and we’re incredibly proud of how hard he has worked to get to this point.”

“Thank you for organising this incredible experience for the kids today. Tahnay was a little scared and hesitant at first but worked up the courage to get his photo taken with Adam Gilchrist today and had an amazing time.”

“I wanted to extend my heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful cricket trial session that my sons and I recently attended. The experience was not only enjoyable but also very informative. Having seen the dedication and professionalism of the coaches and team members, I'm eager to have my boys join the team in Kingsley/Woodvale. Once again, thank you for the warm welcome and for the memorable experience.
