u15’s & u17’s – Monday & Thursday Evenings start from 5pm, the Thursday evenings include some joint training with the senior club to help with the transition of junior players into the development teams for games on a Saturday afternoon.
3) Coaching
We have been lucky to gain the assistance of some great coaches to help our team coaches, so once again every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights there will be extra coaching and technique sessions to help the players attain the best they can from their cricket. This year we have:
Saliya, as the Head Coach for the Junior Section of the club, Saliya is committed to junior coaching and has great plans for the development of the junior section this year. Saliya is an ex Sri Lankan test player who has coached the Hawthorn district side and at the cricket centre.
Other Assistant coaches include – Ian Campbell and many other part time helpers from the senior section.
A special series of wicket keeping sessions will be run by Simon Street, ex Fitzroy-Doncaster District and Mully 1st Eleven Wicket Keeper and currently wicket keeper and Assistant Coach for Oakleigh District CC 1st Eleven, the 2008/09 VSDCA premiership side.

Christmas Break-Up day
The Christmas break-up will be held on Sunday 13th December with the Juniors v’s Seniors game to be players on the turf wicket.
Father Christmas will visit and the BBQ will be available for the seniors and juniors at the same time and we will have entertainment for the kids, such as a bouncy castle and face painting.
If you have any ideas of how we could add any more to this major family event, please let us know.
5) Team support
Coaches and Team Managers require your help, the team can’t exist with out the help and support of the parents. Please volunteer for Team manager and support roles. It is a great way to get involved with your child’s interest and meet other people and have a great deal of fun.
Without this the support structure will collapse very quickly impacting on what the Mulgrave Cricket Club seeks to deliver to each and every player.
Please let us know if you have any suggestions or can help the club in any way.
And here’s to a great Mully Season
