Big Brother - Little Brother Program

Who's in your Team?

This season our new senior coach Tim Reid is introducing a buddy system between the senior and junior players. The buddy system is aimed to combine the senior and junior clubs, introduce a mentoring system from the seniors to the junior U16 and U14 players, and assist with the transition of junior players into the senior club.

As a part of this buddy system one senior player will be teamed with three junior players, one from each age group of U16, U14 and U12. (names drawn out of the hat). Each individual player will score points throughout the season for the runs made and for fielding achievements within their own matches. These scores will be combined in the BB/LB teams. Scores will be updated monthly on the website.

There will be an end of season award to the BB/LB team of senior/U16/U14/U12 with the highest point score.

More than one player may be allocated to a team to even out the players in each age group.

Teams and the point scoring system are available on the website.

In the mean time keep up the runs as each will be worth a point, work hard in the field as wickets, catches, stumpings, run outs will all be rewarded with 5 points or more!

Please see the POCC website for you team members.
