Now that the USACA Under 15 team is selected for the Western Conference Tournament to be held in LA during the Thanksgiving weekend, our work starts from this weekend. The coaches have to focus on teaching these advance level skills. We have reserved the Russell Creek Ground G7 From 8:00am to 4:-00pm exclusively for these kids.

We are happy to announce that Mervyn Dillon and Asif Mujitba have agreed to conduct a preparatory session for the kids who are going to represent Central West at the western conference tournament during the thanks giving weekend.

This would be an advanced level skills training for the tournament since most of these kids have never played a 40 over game. This would be a conditioning camp for playing the 40 over game as well as honing skills as required. Please be prepared to commit your kid to this camp without any absent ism. 

Dallas Cricket League has been generous enough to move all their games on Saturday from Ground 7 in support of a 40 over game for the youth team. We all should really thank DCL's 24 teams that have shown their support for the Youth Program and agreed to play their scheduled game at different location.

Kids will be taught how to play a 40 over game. How to Rotate the striket, how to carry the team, how to bat longer. Each bowler can bowl 8 overs. Kids will be assigned role. who is the right person to bowl with the new ball. Real time match situations.

I want to arrange a sereis of training matches of 40 overs before they proceed for the tournament as they have never played 40 overs before. They can learn the following techniques and tactics.

1. How to play and sutained 80 overs match. (40 overs batting/bowling each)
2. Batsman can learn how to carry their team while they are going good at the crease.
3. Batsman can learn if the team lost quick wickets how to bat and keep their wickets intact for no further damage to team plus how to make runs in that kind of sitaution.
4. We will find out who can play as an opener and middle order, which batsman appropriate for what kind of situation, who is compact and who can attack the ball.
5. A bowler can bowl maximum 8 overs in the match.
6. Which bowler can use the new ball and old ball well.
7. Whcih bowler can bowl in the last overs.
8. Bowler can learn if they take wickets how to attack to a new batsman not giving any chance to settle.
9. Bowler can learn if a batsman is furious who to bowl.
10.Fielders will be get use to field 40 overs without getting tired, attentive and put all their efforts till end.
11.Who is good in the circle and outside, but  basically we would switch every fielder to different field position so they can understand the importance of every position.
12.Tough job for the wicket

With the under 15 tournament in mind as we as the continued development of all the kids I recommend that we have some practice mathces as well as some more practice sessions if possible. 
We have all agreed that one day per week is no way close to what is required,looking forwad to continued support from the parents. These kids have what it takes but it has be a continued process where we all work together,with my name attached u want these kids to show that they are being coached by former players. Lets work together and I have no doubt they are going to make us all very proud.

We would like all the kids who are Under  15 years of age to register and  gain the advanced skills and at the same time help the team in some good practice by playing the 40 over matches that are scheduled during this camp.    I would request the parents to come ahead and help out this team by registering your kids and help the team in building itself and also let the kids have the fun by playing their first few 40 over games.
We urge you to register your kids before Thursday evening. This is a small step for the team and giant leap for the league.
