MILO IN2CRICKET FOR CLUBS/SCHOOLS

MILO in2CRICKET

The MILO in2CRICKET program is designed to teach children the basic skills of cricket whilst being involved in an environment that is fun, safe, healthy and importantly, one which fosters the development of social skills and friendships.

When is MILO in2CRICKET run?

The MILO in2CRICKET program is designed to be flexible to suit the needs of the coordinator and or the participants. It can be run at anytime of the day on any day of the week. It can be run at clubs, schools community centres, indoor cricket centres – anywhere that gives you enough space to set up the activities!

Who Participates?

The MILO in2CRICKET program is designed for both girls and boys between 5 and 10 years of age. The equipment is modified to ensure everyone’s safety. The balls are soft and the bats are light so they’re easy to swing. Inclusion is one of the most important aspects of the MILO in2CRICKET program, and that’s why every activity in the Coordinator Manual has been designed to ensure maximum participation for people of all needs and backgrounds.

Coordinators - Program Information

As a MILO in2CRICKET Coordinator, have no doubt that you are playing an important part in developing cricket in Australia, and helping to make cricket Australia’s favourite sport.

The emphasis of the MILO in2CRICKET program is on fun and involvement. The program is designed to give boys and girls a chance to take part in a variety of activities to develop their cricket skills, physical fitness and social skills, sportsmanship and an understanding of the game.

Whilst you will get all the assistance you require from both Cricket Australia and your State and Territory cricket association, volunteers are the lifeblood of the program and we know that this program could simply not happen without the help of all our volunteers.

Good luck for a huge summer of cricket ahead!
