OVERVIEW
The Specialist Sport Cricket Program provides both elite and talented male and female cricket players the opportunity to further develop their cricketing skills with the aim of playing to the highest level while providing a balanced high quality education. Under the coaching guidance of former Redback and Port Adelaide District Cricket Club skills coach Dave Mundy, and with the support from South Australian Cricket Associations Development Officers, students access a range of high quality facilities including Adelaide Oval Indoor Nets, Albert Park Indoor Cricket Arena and school turf and hard wicket practice areas.
The program offers students the opportunity to participate in two sporting exchanges per year. The first is with Hunter Valley Sports School in NSW and the second with Mount Gambier High School. The use of video analysis software is a new and innovative strategy we use to help students analyse their batting, bowling and fielding techniques providing them with the opportunity to help develop all aspects of their Cricket.
A unique aspect of Henley’s Cricket program is that students can undertake Cricket as a subject at Stage 1 and Stage 2 giving them an opportunity to use it as part of their Tertiary Entrance Rank (TER). We also offer a range of cricket specific accreditation courses to students. These courses are nationally recognised and provide a range of leadership opportunities. They include:
Certificate 2 in Sport Senior First Aid Certificate Accredited Courses in Coaching, Umpiring & Technical Organisation
