Road to Perth is a dual sports program that provides opportunities for girls to discover their best at a cructial time in their life. Their year- long journey will conclude with a tour of a lifetime to Perth in December, where they will play a series of cricket and hockey matches against some of Perth's best!
Road to Perth links the skills acquired in sports to life off the field. Throughout the year the girls are challenged with a series of fund raising, public speaking, management, teambuilding and leadership activities.
CRICKET:
Road to Perth is designed to introduce more females to cricket by transferring their existing hockey skills and friendships to a new sport. In addition, the introduction to cricket is structured around a journey of a lifetime which challenges the girls to Discover their best. This will have a positive impact to life on and off the field, as well as regional participation numbers.
The players benefit from:
- Top cricket trainers
- Female role models
- FUNdamentals from other sports (running, injury prevention, etc.)
- New sporting pathways.
The journey begins with transferring existing skills to the game, learning to play, playing to compete and eventually playing to win in the national women’s T20 festival.
HOCKEY:
The players experience a whole new approach to hockey, combined with a difference in age they have never experienced before in their hockeyteam.
As for the club, players tend to stop playing hockey when they reach the age of 15-18. In this age-group, the amount of youth hockey members drastically decreases.
In this program, we aim to challenge the players to Discover their best. This will have a positive impact to life on and off the field.
Along the journey the players build upon existing hockey levels through a series of specialized workshops. Together with a great environment and expert knowledge the girls benefit from a player orientated program. This best prepares the girls for the ultimate challenge:
- Touring like a top hockey player
- Facing new environments and competition
- Experiencing the best of what the global game has to offer
