North Harbour Year 6 squad: 2009/2010

The North Harbour Year 6 squad of 24 boys has been selected. Firstly, for those of you who didn’t make the squad this year, don’t worry. Many cricketers weren’t involved in rep teams until they were older including Shane Warne, for example, who was 15 when he was first involved in rep cricket. You guys are only 10.

I will be keeping a regular eye on all boys through-out the coming season and seeing how you progress. I will also need to bring boys into the squad from time to time as injuries and other commitments will mean that the squad is short of players.

It is also worth being aware that with-in two years (PSB – Year 8) we’ll be looking for a squad of 48 players to play in the Auckland regional tournament. There are plenty of opportunities to come.

If you can take two things away from the trials, the first is to make sure you continue to enjoy your cricket. The second is that, in order to really making a big improvement, it is a great idea to start working hard on your technique – particularly batting technique. It is then a matter of practice, practice, practice, play, and enjoy.

Thanks and have a wonderful season.
