For many years we have been trying to best prepare our wonderful kids for the rigours of cricket, where their performance and fun in the game is optimized, while their risk of injury is minimized. I had the pleasure of attending Northern Districts Scott Wrenn’s strength and conditioning workshop the other evening and with his permission I would like to share it with you all.

Incorporating these fundamental movement patterns can further prepare your mind and body for what comes next for enhanced performance and enjoyment and improved longevity in our game.

General • Locomotion • Manipulation • Stabilisation Specific • Squat • Lunge • Hinge • Push • Pull • Rotate/Twist • Brace in the Three areas of Fielding • Batting • Bowling
