The Winter Programme is a structured cricket coaching program for 8 to 80 year old players that runs for 8 weeks through June and July
each year. The programme commences on the the first weekend of June each year and operates on both Saturdays and Sundays. Participants
can attend either day on the weekend to work around their other sporting pursuits and the only pre-requisite to participate in the Winter
Programme is a passion for the game of cricket. Players must be prepared to work hard to take their game to the next level and most
importantly, the Winter Programme is for cricketers of all ages and standards from rookies to stars. This is distinct from the Victorian
Junior Cricket Academy that is designed for elite junior players. Winter Programme participants will hit more than 1,000 balls over
the 8 week period and massively improve their skills, grow in confidence and realise their full potential. .

We recognise the fact that most junior club coaches in local competitions like the South East Cricket Association (SECA), ECA, DDCA and ISEC are unpaid volunteers. While they do a fantastic job, cricket is a technical game and coaching can produce massive results. If your son or daughter is an ambitious young cricketer looking for elite level coaching, Cricket HQ provides a high performance training environment.
Cricket HQ is the home of the Victorian Junior Cricket Academy that offers boys and girls aged
8 to 15 the opportunity to fast track their development. The program covers all aspects of the game including batting, bowling,
fielding and game day strategies. The Academy runs programs all year round and caters for ambitious and talented junior cricketers
looking to play and dominate at representative team level. Over the past few seasons a number of Academy players have represented
Victoria at the Under 15 and Under 17 national cricket carnivals, Most academy participants have played representative cricket for
associations like SECA, ECA, ISEC and DDCA or Under 15 J G Craig teams. If your child wants to ‘prep for rep’ the Victorian Junior
Cricket Academy has a proven track record and you can read testimonials from players and parents here.

Matt is a fantastic coach. My son S**** loves the way Matt trains him. One of the few coaches I’ve seen who focus on keeping things simple and avoid over coaching which allows kids to hone their natural instincts and way of playing.
My son had a one-on-one batting lesson with Pat and loved it! Pat has a lovely manner and is clearly an expert and the perfect coach to help young kids tweak and improve their cricket skills. Thanks so much Pat!
Coaching style is really conducive for getting the most out of the player. Direct feedback, positive reinforcement, and repetitive / consistent feedback that helps player develop their own self talk to continue their development. Progression and improvement evident following each session which demonstrates the value and positive impact. Highly recommend.
Thanks Pat - A***y got a lot out of his session with you! Fav comment ‘welcome to the on drive club’
Great environment to learn spin bowling-highly recommended
Will Robertshaw has been working with my sons Spencer and Charlie for the past 3 seasons and last season they both made representative teams as bottom age players and had great carnivals. Spencer also made his debut in sub-district firsts at 15 years of age. Both boys love the coaching sessions and always come away talking about something new or a game day strategy. Will’s communication skills and rapport with the boys is remarkable plus his understanding of the game and eye for technical detail belies his age. He has had a major influence on the boys and their confidence to take on captaincy roles. I would recommend Will to any parent looking to help their child improve their game and life confidence.

2017/18 Under 16 South East Bayside Breakers & SECA Under 12 Josh Browne Plate
I had my first batting session with Pat Camm on the eve of the South East Bayside Breakers Under 14 tournament in 2015/16. It had a profound impact and I scored more than 350 runs during the tournament. I enrolled in the winter program the following year and had a record breaking Under 15 Craig (Hatch) tournament scoring more than 450 runs including two centuries (172 not out and 105). I had a fantastic under 16A grade season last year and played sub-district firsts. Pat’s coaching has made a huge difference
I cannot express enough gratitude to Pat Camm for his work with Bailey over the past few years. His support and guidance has been above and beyond the call of a traditional cricket coach. He drops everything to accommodate us and people continually comment on Bailey’s progress and work ethic. We all recognise Pat’s technical expertise but it his work with Bailey on his mental approach to the game that has really impressed. I am delighted to say that his mentoring has produced a much more mature and consistent cricketer this season. Bailey moved up the order and opened the batting at Under 16A grade level plus he also got the opportunity to open the batting and bowling at sub-district (firsts) level for Ormond last season. He is moving to Premier Cricket at age 16 this season with Pat’s blessing
I wish I'd known to bring my daughter here years ago. Pat was amazing with her and within the space of an hour gave her some really great techniques to bring into her game. It was a lot for her to take on in a short period given her starting position but her response at the end of the hour was "I want to come back". Highly recommended.
