THE
Programme
Pre-Christmas
The pre-Christmas block provides players with a structured 10-week programme covering skill development, strength and conditioning and match play through the Melbourne club competitions.
Upon arrival in Melbourne, players are supported with a daily programme as they acclimatise to life in Australia, build an understanding of their games and develop their self-sufficiency as players and people.
The pre-Christmas programme ensures players are provided with a routine, support network and opportunity to meet other overseas cricketers from the start of their season in Australia.
Post-Christmas
The post-Christmas phase provides bespoke support for players based on their individual requirements.
Continued access to coaching remains available to supplement the match play programme as players prepare for their respective domestic seasons. Sessions and schedules are predominantly player-led during this phase as cricketers develop a greater understanding of their individual games and training requirements.
Players are encouraged to utilise the knowledge gained during the pre-Christmas block and take additional responsibility for their training and development during this period.
