Clinics were held in Hermanus and Century City, players were put through their paces ahead of the third school term.

“Once again we had a great turnout. The clinics are growing well in those areas,” GKC Director of Coaching, Ryan Van Niekerk said.

“It gave us a chance to work with all aspects of the game. The third term is the preseason for school cricketers so it was good to get in some early preparation with them, Van Niekerk added.

In addition, Peter Kirsten’s work at Fish Hoek continues to inspire junior cricketers.

He hosted three, free coaching days to create interest in the valley.

“It is exciting to see young kids getting involved in the game. We look forward to a good beginning out there,” Van Niekerk concluded.

Over 60 enthusiastic youngsters attended clinics hosted at Century City, Rondebosch High and Curro Hermanus School.

The cricket season may be coming to an end but this gave the GKC coaches a chance to fine tune a range of skills amongst the players.

“With the season over, our aim was to finish off with a bang and let the players enjoy their three days with us,” GKC Coach Garreth Von Hoesselin said.

“Each day the clinics had a set programme that coaches delivered and ran. We were all massively impressed with the talent shown especially with the new players that we worked with,” he added.

GKC will host one more clinic from 10-12 April at Century City.

With a number of promising young players in the region, GKC ran two high intensity holiday clinics during December and January.

Under the guidance of GKC Coach, Bradley Moses, 30 players between the ages of 8-13 got their first taste of private cricket coaching.

With a dire lack of high performance coaching in the Overberg region in the Western Cape, GKC is looking forward to establishing a central hub at the school.

“We know that there is huge potential in the area. Our first two clinics created interest and introduced youngsters to professional coaching,” Ryan van Niekerk, GKC Coaching Director said.

The project will be managed by GKC coach, Garreth Von Hoesslin. While Moses, a former provincial cricketer and CSA Level 2 coach will mentor the youngsters.

“We cater for kids of all abilities. From beginners to more established players. We are confident that a lot of these youngsters can go on to play junior provincial cricket,” van Niekerk said.

Now that a relationship has been established, GKC plan on hosting many more clinics during the course of the year.
