Brighton Cricket Club runs one of the largest junior cricket programs in Adelaide, supported by the families and members of the Brighton Cricket Club community.
Community sporting clubs like ours are the lifeblood of Australian sport. As a community cricket club our aim is to provide an opportunity for youngsters living in and around our locality to take part in the sport of cricket and to build lasting friendships with their teammates.
We are a welcoming club and do not turn away girls who would like to play cricket at our club. The development of junior players through coaching and training is a large part of the junior program.
Junior coaches are largely recruited from the parents and wider supporters of the Junior Cricket program. Coaches are supported by the Club's Director of cricket and committee to obtain a Community (Level 1) Coaching accreditation. The Level 1 coaching is an entry level course that equips aspiring coaches with the technical skills and teaching techniques required to coach at a community level and assist at a junior level.
