James Trevenen selected in SSV 12 & Under Cricket Team

Rowville player James Trevenen has been selected in the School Sport Victoria 12 & Under Cricket Team, which will play in the School Sport Australia National Championships in Barooga NSW in January 2012.
Trials for the team began in February this year, with almost 900 boys from across the State participating in the first round. The squad was progressively reduced in subsequent trials held in April, July and October, and the final team of 13 was announced on Melbourne Cup Day.
James also participated in all of the trials in 2010, only to be eliminated at the very end. After some initial disappointment, he resolved to try again, and trained very hard in the off-season. His persistence has been rewarded.
The boys in the team will be presented with their caps during the Boxing Day Test at the MCG.

Regional Cricket Manager hands over reigns

Hello All

Just a quick email to notify you I have officially handed over the reigns as Outer East Regional Cricket Manager as of this week. This is a 12 month arrangement and at this stage I will return to the RCM position mid next year. I have moved into the Education & Training Manager role at Cricket Victoria and I’m well under way in that position.

Jarrod Leggett is the new Regional Cricket Manager and no doubt he will be in contact with you as key people in the Outer East over the coming weeks and throughout the season ahead. Please contact Jarrod with regards to any Outer East Region matters, Jarrod’s details:

Phone: 9653 1100

Mobile: 0409 776 426

Email: jleggett@cricketvictoria.com.au

Jarrod joins Cricket Victoria on a full time basis after several years as a Regional Development Officer in the North & North East Metro. In that role he worked closely with the RCM in Club/Association Development, the Pathway Program, MILO IN2CRICKET, School Programs, Community Cricket initiatives and Coach Education. He is a Level 2 Accredited Coach and also 1st XI captain at Melbourne University Cricket Club in Premier Cricket, where he opens the batting.

Personally, I would like to thank you for your assistance in my role over the last 16 months. Your passion and commitment to the game in various roles is outstanding and certainly a key reason behind the genuine strength of cricket in the Outer East as a whole. It’s been a pleasure to have been involved with you at various levels through CV programs and links with clubs and Associations. I’ve certainly enjoyed the role.

No doubt I will catch up with some of you over the course of the season. I wish your club / Association / team / organisation all the best for the 2011/2012 cricket season and beyond.

Of course, if you have any queries regarding Coach Education, please contact me to discuss.

Kind Regards
