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.

TESTIMONIAL : I was impressed with Geoff’s work, his routines, but particularly by his attitude and acceptance of the several little hints and feedback I gave him, to make it relevant to the group and the clubs methodologies, which he professionally incorporated into his communications. He likes working with our club he told me, cos we give him good direction and feedback and I suspect the attention and respect he thoroughly deserves. My role now is to go about reinforcing the things he said. We should monitor the performances of the player group to see if Sunday makes an immediate difference. – Glenn, Boy’s Cricket Coach.

TESTIMONIAL : “Firstly I thought the day was fantastic. To the point my head is spinning. I think half of the information that we were shown has fallen out. I would suggest two things:  Getting coaches to take notes describing the basics of each exercise so they have something to refer to. For me the stuff about using the back foot was invaluable however due to the other stuff  it has become muddled in my head, and allow participants to take a quick video of the exercise or photo at least. I used 6 or 7 things at our training session on Tuesday already. Thanks again for organising it.” – Deb, Girl’s Cricket Coach.
