    Leschenault Cricket Club -

    In our final episode for the pilot season, I sat down with Angelo D'Agostino, President of the Leschenault Cricket Club in WA - and winner of the Cricket Australia Community Cricket Club of the Year Award. There is a lot in this episode and we covered everything from partnerships with schools and the local men's shed, starting new programs, how they recruit volunteers through to how they cultivate a strong transition for juniors into their senior program. There is something in here for every club and Angelo really does showcase how the club  really embraces creating the best environment for their community

    Sorell Cricket Cub - President Daniel Smith, Young Leader of the Year

    This weeks episode i sat down with Daniel Smith, our national winner of the young leader of the year, who at the age of 23 is the President of the Sorell Cricket club in Tasmania We talked about a whole range of topics but most of all we hear the story about how a club goes from premiership success to struggling the following season and the comeback story that is underway (and how they are going about rebuilding). Daniel has a great way of reminding us why we volunteer and join community sporting clubs - in that it is about creating a great place to play sport and create life long friendships.
