The Southern District Magpies Cricket Club in Toowoomba are starting an “All Abilities Cricket Program.”
This program specifically caters to kids with a disability, and teaches them the fundamentals of cricket in a fun and safe environment.
An 8 week program will start on Sunday the 18th of October which will then take place every Sunday from 2pm at the same location.
Parents can register their kids to join through www.playcricket.com.au and they will receive a Shirt, Cricket Bat, Ball and Hat.
The initiative this club has shown has been incredible to get it up and running, and it has been supported and promoted through HELP employment and training as well.
It is being run by Club Member Matt Hansson who is a disabled cricketer himself, and wanted to create an avenue for kids to get involved. Matt Hanson can be contacted on 0481 134 422
