Cricket Upskill for Youth, Sport and Recreation Staff

Central Desert Regional Desert (CDRC) had four representatives at Northern Territory Cricket’s Community Coaching Course (Level 1) on Wednesday 17 February.

Stephen Royes, Stephen Evans, James Anderson and Jeff Aubert (Youth Sport and Recreation Team Leaders in Engawala, Laramba, Yuelamu and Ti Tree respectively) completed the online component of the course prior to the practical session, which was held at Mona’s Lounge, Traegar Park in Alice Springs.

The Team Leaders will pass on the skills learnt to the Youth, Sport and Recreation Officers in their communities to continue to upskill players in preparation for inter-community tournaments, Imparja Cup, and Youth, Sport and Recreation evening activities.

The course was held in conjunction with the Imparja Cup Cricket Carnival, where CDRC were represented by the Laramba women’s team and the Ti Tree men’s team.
