WAS there ever a better time for aspiring young cricketers to step up for Australia?
MILO Cricket is a great introduction to cricket for boys and girls from five to eight years of age with the emphasis on fun, building skills and developing a love of the sport.
Wandin Junior Cricket Club is running the MILO program and is also looking for players for their Under 12, 14 and 16 cricket team for the 2015-’16 season.
The club has an impressive history, starting in the mid 1870s, but it’s been hard work at times keeping the numbers up.
The club had no juniors for a few years, but started to rebuild two years ago when with the help of the Wandin-Seville Bendigo Bank they fielded an Under 14 team.
This year they are hoping to get Under 12s and 16 teams up as well.
The MILO program is another positive step towards rebuilding the junior teams.
Registration is this Friday 14 August at the Wandin Cricket Ground in Clegg Road at 5pm.
