Sport NZ Research - Youth Athlete Development

We believe we can turn the tide in participation in cricket by paying attention to all the research that is screaming at us to make changes. The changes to junior formats, new modified offerings, revamped rep programmes, improved college competitions and a significant investment in coaching, are all initiatives that are designed to improve the cricket experience and grow our game.
Please take some time to read through the two presentations . It hopefully will give some context as to why ACA is making some of the changes to cricket in Auckland

• Sport NZ Youth Development - is a presentation by Sport NZ that unlocks some of the myths around talent identification.
• Balance is Better – is another Sport NZ document that includes research from Auckland Cricket around District Tournaments.
