Allenton Cricket Club

They teach, they encourage, they correct and they do it all for free. Youth sports couldn’t happen without Volunteer coaches and at Allenton cricket we are so very grateful to the time given by our coaches. Thank you - this post is for you…

Thank you for….

🏏 Fielding questions such as, who’s winning? How much longer? And can I bat with John?

🏏 Hauling us out of the trees when it’s our turn to bat.

🏏 Your patience, passion for the game, enthusiasm and knowledge.

🏏 Putting up with a sore back after countless hours of standing still.

🏏 A fist bump or high five when we did well.

🏏 Dealing with sore fingers, bruised ego’s and tying our shoelaces.

🏏 Maintaining a straight face during our lbw appeals and sledges.

🏏 Giving up your time.

🏏 Delivering your umpire calls professionally with confidence and clarity.

🏏 Transporting and carrying the team gear bag.

🏏 Not telling us off when we giggle cos you lost your jandal and tripped trying to move into position for the all important run out call.

🏏 For helping us be the best cricketing version of ourselves we could be.

Thank you ☺️
