Cricket Tasmania’s Talent program is designed to provide the State’s junior cricketers with a clear pathway from the grass roots to the elite level and to provide a world class cricket environment to achieve sustained excellence.
Pathway Struture
The Rookie Program is the start of the cricket Pathway with an aim of identifying and providing opportunities to players from the state who have potential. Players are selected for the program based on their future potential and how likely their skills are to transfer appropriately into higher levels of cricket. The target age group is players under the age of 16.
This is the second tier of the pathway. The Development Program creates the foundations to becoming a professional cricketer. The players are supported through technical coaching to primarily develop their dominant skill. They have their first exposure to a strength and conditioning program, moving through to fundamental movement framework and developing speed and agility.
This is Cricket Tasmania’s top tier pathway program. In the ET program, players have a more holistic program, mirroring the elite teams as much as possible. As well as skill and S&C coaching, players receive access to physio, nutrition, wellbeing and psychology support. Players have opportunities to train with the Tigers and be involved in aspects of their programming and game play where appropriate (practice matches, pre-season tours, intra-state games, Tasmanian 2nd XI). This program is to ensure graduates have an easy transition into professional cricket.
