Be bowled over by our Cricket Australia Sports Development Program
Posted April 01, 2024 in Cricket
There’s no doubt we Aussies love our cricket. From using the red-top wheelie bin as a wicket in friendly neighbourhood clashes, to having a bowl down by the shore in a game of beach cricket, it’s a game that unites generations.
Many kids grow up wanting to be the next Ellyse Perry or Steve Smith, heading out to the crease to do their country proud. At SEDA, we’re thrilled to help students turn their love of cricket into lifelong opportunities through our Cricket Australia Sports Development Program.
