Welcome to the SNLCC winter season, we have a very exciting cricket off-season beginning in the next few weeks with a wide variety of options planned for all age groups. We are fortunate to have the best indoor cricket facility in Auckland and plan to make the most of it every winter giving us a competitive advantage over our Auckland rivals.
Indoor Cricket Competition (10 to 13yr olds)
Our indoor cricket competition returns for its 4th season, this has become a regular event on the SNLCC calendar thoroughly enjoyed by the junior boys. It’s a great opportunity to keep improving your skills in a competitive but social environment. The wider age range allows the boys to play with, learn from and make new friends across the grades in a safer playing format. The indoor ball whilst not soft is much safer to use than a typical cricket hardball, protective equipment is optional but recommended especially with the 10/11 yr olds. Bowler to batter matchups are monitored to further protect the younger ones new to the format so you would not have a 13yr old fast bowler bowling to a 10 year old batter etc. Teams are arranged by Ryan and balanced evenly with the hope of exciting close results.
Key Details
- Competition runs Sunday 2nd June (Round 1) to Sunday 14th July (Round 7)
- All games are played on Sundays between 11am and 5pm, games are 1.5hrs long played in a similar format to Saturday morning cricket ensuring even participation for all.
- Cost is $70 ($10 per Game)
- Games are umpired and scored by paid youth staff so parents can relax and enjoy the game.
- Games are played in the Ken Maunder Park Indoor Centre (all the nets pulled back)
- Registrations close Sunday 19th May, first in first serve – 55 spots available *Please don’t hesitate this has reached capacity every season*

Winter Academy and Development Camps (13 to 17yr olds)
Our academy and development camps ran successfully last season so they return with some improvements and additions based on what we learnt. The academy and development camps will be planned and led by Sahil Mehta with support from Trevor Payle, Ryan Hibberd and some youth coaches. The academy will be designed for our top youth players preparing them for senior and representative cricket. Most selected will have had years of 1 on 1 training so less focus on technical elements more on game scenarios, strategy, fielding, fitness, nutrition and all the little 1% things that will help you reach that next level.
The development camps will be split into two groups predominantly divided by age but there will be some exceptions based on where Sahil believes the participant will gain the most improvement from. These camps will include all the academy entails just in a little less depth and instead a greater concentration on improving technical proficiency. We won’t be holding trials this season so entry to these programmes is based on a first in first serve basis until we hit our planned participant capacity.
Key Details
- Academy runs Sunday 28th July to Sunday 15th September – 9am to 11am
- Development Camps run Sunday 28th July to Sunday 15th September – either 11am to 1pm (Dev A) or 2pm to 4pm (Dev B)
- Cost is $160 for the 8 week course for both the Academy and Development Camps ($20 per session)
- Academy capped at 15, Development Camps capped at 20-25 coached by Sahil, Trevor and Ryan with some specialised guest coaches
- Selected participants in the Development Camps have/will be invited to receive subsidised 1 on 1 sessions with Sahil (read more below)

Winter Training Camp (11 to 12yr olds)
Our winter training camp is an 8 week course designed specifically for our u12 and u11 players (142g commander, 16-18m pitch length). All the basics will be covered (batting, bowling, fielding) plus some discussions around fitness, nutrition and strategy. The weekly practices will be planned and led by Sahil and Ryan with additional coaching support from our youth coaches. Each week Sahil will take a small group (4-5) aside to work specifically on batting technique like you would get in a 1 on 1 training, all participants will have this opportunity through the 8 weeks.
*There may be a few 10yr olds which is fine provided you’ve played 1 season of hardball cricket.
Key Details
- Training Camp runs Monday 29th July to Monday 16th September
- Training is 5pm to 7pm

Bowling POD Sessions (available to everyone)
Pod coaching is an extension of 1 on 1 coaching, we limit group sizes to 4 and try to create groups of similar age, gender and bowling style. We will look to provide these to meet demand and specifically push them during the school holidays to replace our holiday programmes. Ideally you would contact us with a proposed group of 4 from within your team or grade but you can register individually and we will group accordingly. For all our keen 7 to 9yr olds who can’t wait for the cricket season this is most suited to you. The main focus is on coaching bowling mechanics but there will be opportunity to bat also. So if you’re jumping from the wrong foot, bowling too many wides, need some extra pace or want to learn spin variations and much more this is the option for you.
Key Details
- Cost is $25 per 1.5hr session, capped at 4 per POD
- POD group typically has 4 sessions together but we can be flexible to suit your requests
- Coached by Sahil Mehta
- Keep an eye out for these to be advertised shortly on SNLCC social media platforms
If you are keen to start these before the next school holidays email juniors@suburbsnewlynncricket.com or contact Ryan-021531530
