ORIGINS
There was a perceived need for younger people (5-12 years) to be able to learn the skills of cricket in a friendly caring environment. The first Vic Cric Clinic (under the banner of Kiddies Cricket) was held at the Ascot Vale Primary School from October - December of 1993. Founded by Carlton Football Club premiership player Ian Aitken, it attracted 35 budding young cricketers of varying ag
es between 5 & 12 years of age. The second clinic (February - March 1994) attracted more than double the first intake. Soon after the outstanding success of these first two clinics, Mike Bishop joined Ian Aitken as partners & co-directors of Vic Cric, both having extensive experience in the areas of sport & communication. Due to an overwhelming demand Vic Cric in 2001 commenced our Football clinics and Soccer clinics, which have attracted a strong following over the last 10 years. Vic Cric Cricket, Soccer and Aussie rules clinics take place on Saturday mornings during the school term. Based on demand, we also offer school holiday programs and kids birthday parties! Vic Cric Strives to make the junior Cricket, Aussie Rules and Soccer experience as exciting and enjoyable as it can be. This encourages the participants in Vic Cricket, Vic Football and Vic Soccer coaching clinics to continue to play these sports throughout their adolescent / teenage years as they have gained the skills to allow them to enjoy each game with confidence. Always positive, we treat our kids with respect & we hope that they respect us, and that their parents love what we do. All parents are looking for guidance & continuity in their kids lives & for most, Saturday morning can't come around quickly enough. Vic Cric believes in Sportsmanship. Encouraging participants to be good sports at all time a good catch or kick is applauded not sledged. When a mistake is made - NO SLEDGING IS ACCEPTED, in extreme cases the sledger sits out. Encouragement at all times is the motto we live by. Vic Cric believes in Safety. Safety is a key issue with activities involving younger people. Vic Cric provides a caring, safe environment for its young Cricket, AFL and Soccer players and uses balls appropriate to size and age. All our coaches hold a working with children's check, and we have trained first aiders at all our clinics.
