Cricket is Australia’s national sport. Australia’s love of cricket originates from British colonisation in 1788 and is part of the fabric of our society.
Cricket developed across our country through the pioneers who shaped our towns and cities. As we grew as a nation, cricket also grew. From the first Tests against England, through two world wars, the Depression, Vietnam, Sydney Olympics to today’s bustling modern Australia, cricket has been a part of our national identity. We had a national cricket team before we existed as a country and Australia’s first touring team was the 1868 Indigenous Cricket team.
Cricket embraces all parts of our multicultural and multifaceted society and it is crucial that the current generation uphold and protect the values and ideals of our national game.
As an expert coach and high school teacher, Geoff Spotswood creates a positive environment where players, coaches, teachers and cricket enthusiasts can develop their coaching, leadership, team building, personal and communication skills through a variety of programs which cater for and can be tailored to your requirements.
