Sutherland District Cricket Club (SDCC) is seeking applications for the position of Head Coach.

SDCC is a proud member of the NSW Premier Cricket competition. We are a club with a tremendous history of success since our inclusion into the competition in 1965. A large number of First Class and International cricketers have represented SDCC and we have produced two of the best players ever to have played the game, namely Steven Smith and Glenn McGrath. SDCC is located in the southern suburbs of Sydney and has a strong emphasis on the development of our local juniors.

SDCC is a club on the rise following a period where we have performed below expectations. Applicants need to possess the capacity to build upon the improvement of last season and take the club and its players forward towards winning premierships.

The Shane Warne Academy at the St.Kilda Cricket Club in the 2023/2024 season was momentous as it was the first year that the club had girls' and women's teams, and the Under 18 men's team won the Inaugural Men's Under 18 competition against the Melbourne Cricket Club. A fierce rival and one we respect immensely. The Under 18 women's team was Runner Up in the Under 18 Female Future Tournament. The Under 15 Girls and Under 16 Boys demonstrated great potential and were competitive in all games. Another year under their belts... look out 2024/2025.

Hitting balls only in practice, while beneficial for honing technical batting skills, may not fully prepare a batter for performing under pressure. While technical skills are fundamental, they need to be complemented with mental, cognitive, and vision skills for a player to be well-rounded and successful in the dynamic and varied contexts of cricket.

1. Limited Adaptability: A player with excellent technical skills but lacking in cognitive and mental aspects may struggle to adapt to varying game conditions and situations.

2. Poor Decision-Making: Cricket involves quick decision-making, like choosing the right shot or ball, or making tactical field placements. Without strong cognitive skills, a player might repeatedly make poor choices, diminishing the effectiveness of their technical prowess.

3. Struggle Under Pressure: High-pressure situations are common in cricket, such as a close run chase or defending a low total. Players who have not developed mental toughness might falter in these scenarios, unable to perform to their technical potential.

4. Difficulty in Long Formats: In formats like Test cricket, mental endurance and focus are as important as technical skill. Players who haven’t developed these aspects might find it challenging to maintain concentration and consistency over prolonged periods.

5. Over-Reliance on Technique: There's a risk of becoming too mechanical or predictable. Opponents can easily strategize against a player who is technically sound but lacks the unpredictability that comes with strategic thinking and situational awareness.

6. Difficulty in Self-Improvement: Without cognitive and mental skills, players might find it hard to critically analyse their performance, learn from mistakes, and make necessary adjustments. This can hinder their growth and development as a cricketer.

7. Reduced Longevity in the Sport: Players who rely solely on technical skills might have a shorter peak period. As physical abilities decline with age, it’s often the mental and cognitive aspects that help experienced players maintain high-performance levels.

Tuesday and especially Thursdays are the nights Valley train between 6 -8 pm and the coaches are brilliant and I have never seen a better well-disciplined club in terms of facilities and training and that’s from every grade.

Peter Drinnen, Grant Mitchell, and Matt Dy Payne work relentlessly to make sure players get what they need to be better.

My role is to help players with their game. By the time they get to me they can already play and I need to make sure they understand and can choose the best options to help them play better.

I will “tweak “ something I see and pass it onto the player to see if it works for them.

I have always liked to “build something” in a club and leave it in a better place.
