CBHS Cricket Club Player welfare and preseason conditioning programme
The Problem • See PowerPoint from Blair Jarratt (Physio South) • CBHS example… • Grayson Papatua • Alex Hooper • Mike Vorster • Harry Betty • Alex Boyle • And others?...
Objectives • To educate parents, coaches and PLAYERS, about the risks associated with bowling workloads • Decrease the frequency of stress fractures or stress responses within our bowlers • Engrain good habits and change the training culture of our players (top down process) • Limit the number of shoulder and elbow injuries caused by poor throwing technique and improve throwing quality
The Plan • Develop and implement a pre-season (PREHAB) programme for all our leading players at all year levels • 3 components • Core training: Generic programme for all players. Immediate start. Leading onto more specific or advanced work later. • Throwing programme: Also for all players. August start • Bowling loading: Pace and spin bowlers. Begin early August
Barriers • Winter sports commitments • Players must still maintain all requirements of winter sports and complete this programme as an extra • Clash of seasons policy • Could be avoided when you sell it with player welfare in mind • Other strength programmes – overloading • Talk to Martin Stokes and get him to supervise players and ensure that this is the priority for cricketers • Other winter training programmes • Increase communication with CCA to manage players. Some responsibility will lie with the players themselves here
What I need to make this work • Buy in! If we are going to do this we need to do it well. i.e. • Boys MUST start counting their deliveries and commit to doing the sometimes boring and arduous exercises. • Coaches MUST adhere to guidelines! • Parents MUST understand why little Johnny isn’t bowling this week! • All players (parents) will need to purchase: • Bungee - I can buy and supply for small charge • Softball mit $60-$200 depending on quality (I have a limited supply of poor quality mits so this is optional but is now becoming part of a cricketers kit bag) • Umpires counter (good for bowlers to keep track of balls bowled) • A space • Where will I do this? Gyms? Tennis courts? New nets in good weather? May need some new composite balls for indoor
