Hi All,

Welcome to all the new and old junior cricketers for the 2012/13 season. 

For those who don't know me, my name is Marc Owen and I am the Junior Development Officer for the Kingston Crows. My boys Cameron and Mitchell both play too. 

This notice will give some information for the season and important info you may or may not know.

I will be there every Thursday along with some members of the A grade team to help the boys reach their full potential. 

 WHAT WILL THE BOYS NEED 

Each boy will require his own protector or box (for his private parts mums) and some white cricket pants. Sportsco Kingston or Big W have these.

The boys will receive a new Kingston Crows playing top and a red cap for the new players. Drink, snack etc too.

We supply a kit with all the protective equipment like bats, pads, helmets etc. The boys like to have some of their own gear as they get better and these make good Chrissy presents as they are all reasonably cheap to buy. 

REGISTRATION 

Below is a copy of the registration form. Please print, fill out and bring it along to training with a cheque or cash. The fees are $95.00 for the season which covers the cost of the playing shirt to keep ( cost around $40 ) balls, ground hire, insurances, score books, gear, etc, etc.

 SUPER SESSIONS  

We are going to have a couple of super sessions for all the kids to come along to with an aim to sharpen up their skills during the Christmas school holidays. I will advise when these will happen. 

COACHES and SCORERS / UMPIRES 

As in all junior sport, parent help is imperative to the running of cricket matches and training. If you would like to assist with any of the above, please let me know asap. We do have some coaches organized already but always need more. 

FUNDRAISING CHOCKIES 

Just after Christmas we will be giving out some Cadbury fundraising chockies for each boy to sell, or as we do, eat and buy. These funds go directly to the trophies and presentation nights for the kids to enjoy. 

HUON AND CHANNEL REPRESENTATIVE SIDE 

Attached is a flyer for the above to. Its for boys in grades 4-6. I will be conducting some indoor net sessions over these school holidays for the extra keen kids so if anyone would like their son to try out for it and would like to join in, please let me know. Its about $5 per session to cover the cost of the net and bowling machine. Try outs for the team are as follows -   

Tuesday 2nd October 4:30-6:00pm at the Snug Oval.  

That's a lot of information to take in sorry. 

Please let me know if there's any other questions either by e-mail  msowen@bigpond.net.au or 0413 012468. 

Looking forward to a great season of the worlds best sport. 

Cheers 

Marc Owen
