Falcon's Academy headed off to Topline NextGen Cricket Centre this morning for session number 4. Fielding was the main focus in the first half of the session, working on throwing, catching and footwork. It' great to see some of our younger players stepping up and working with the older players now. Excellent team approach from all of our coaches / helpers. Keep an eye out for our junior registrations opening soon. Go Falcons!🖤❤️

Our Falcons Academy players headed back to Maroondah Edge on Saturday for some intensive work on power hitting, running between the wickets and our spinners worked hard on their technique and length of deliveries. Thanks as always to our coaches and parent helpers. As the season draws closer these young Falcons are ready to impress in season 26/27. Go Falcons!

Falcons Academy had our second session today at The CitiPower Centre at Junction oval. The players were able to use the HITZ facility to practice their batting and worked on a strong bowling focus in the full lanes also. Our numbers have been strong and the dedication and great attitude from each player has seen some wonderful progress over the first couple of sessions so far. Once again a big thank you to all of our coaches and the parent helpers for making it so enjoyable for all of our Academy players. Lets go Falcons!

Our Falcons Academy had their first session today at Maroondah Edge in Ringwood. It's great to see our program expand this season. All of our players demonstrated a great attitude and willingness to learn and extend themselves. Thank you to our coaches also from both the senior men's and women's programs, the kids are just beginning their preparation for this coming season. Next stop will be Citpower Centre in two weeks time.

Thanks to HITZ for hosting some of our players on Friday night for a 2 hour session. Certainly a new and different way of getting some batting practice in. Reminder that our Junior Falcons Academy kicks off at Maroodah Edge on Saturday June 27.
