Skilling up our next generation

Skilling up our next

generation

Moonee Valley senior players held a clinic for our juniors on February 3, and it's obvious that we've got some stars of the future coming through the ranks.
At right: We've got some talented batsmen coming through the junior grades.
About 10 senior players - most of them regulars in our First and Second elevens - took sessions with the juniors and helped them skill up in specific disciplines.
It was the second junior clinic we held for the 2017/18 season, following on from a successful session we conducted the year before to give our juniors a taste of what they need to do and develop to be successful at higher senior grades.

Facing the bowling machine and some of our senior bowlers gave the up-and-comers the chance to put their skills and training to good effect, and demonstrate how they're developing.
Club President Charlie Walker said a healthy future for any club depended on the development and enthusiasm of its junior grades, and Moonee Valley had a lot to be excited about.
