The executive of Parkes and District Junior Cricket Association Incorporated (PDJCA) invites all interested people to attend this important meeting that sees the majority of current office bearers prepared to continue in their roles to provide cricketing opportunities for the boys and girls of our district.
With PDJCA in a sound financial position, all augers well for another successful and most enjoyable season of junior cricket.
A number of exciting new initiatives will be introduced for younger junior cricketers.
Already Parkes Junior Cricket volunteers have received valuable input from Cricket NSW development officers in relation to these new formats and initiatives.
This summer Cricket Australia is offering to subsidise Cricket Coaching Courses (to the tune of $120 per participant) for prospective Level 1 Cricket Coaches. The opportunity to become an accredited Cricket Coach will be explained at the AGM.
Matt Ellis the Cricket NSW Far West development manager, who is based in Dubbo will be in Parkes on Wednesday, September 6 and Wednesday, September 20 to conduct cricket development days for primary school children.
Stage 3 will participate on the 6th and stage 2 pupils will enjoy activities on the 20th.
The 2017/18 season of junior cricket in the Parkes district is scheduled to begin in Parkes on Saturday, October 14, after registration of players and formation of teams take place during September.
Parkes Junior Cricket has continued to provide wonderful opportunities for local Parkes juniors.
During the 2017 off-season very promising youngsters, who have already achieved higher representative honours, have been involved in the Cricket NSW Western Zone talented player academy squads. These players include Ryan Dunn, Harry Bayliss, Miki Dunn and Maddy Spence.
Parkes and District Junior Cricket Association are very proud to advise that a former graduate from PDJCA, Tom Galvin has been chosen as the 2016 Bradman Foundation Bradman Scholar.
The Bradman Foundation is based at Bowral where the wonderful Bradman Museum stands as an outstanding tribute to the late/great Sir Donald Bradman.
Tom, the son of Mr and Mrs Terry Galvin of Parkes, is currently studying at the University of Sydney.
The fact that former Australian Test cricketer Martin Love is a former recipient of this prestigious award, strongly demonstrates the importance of the Bradman Scholarship Award.
