The Gordon Cricket Academy is part of the junior development program of Gordon District Cricket Club, designed to help talented young cricketers bridge the gap between community cricket and the elite levels of the game.

The Academy provides an invitation-only program for selected Under 13 and Under 14 players, with specialist coaching under the leadership of Peter Crawford. Peter has run the highly successful ‘Cricket Coaching North Shore’ business for a number of years and is a widely experienced and respected coach.

Through high-quality technical instruction, match awareness, and personal mentoring, players are challenged to refine their skills and prepare for representative and Premier Cricket opportunities.

The Academy runs in the preseason on the five Sundays in August and prior to the NSW Junior Championships commencing.

More than just a coaching program, the Gordon Cricket Academy is an important step in the club’s long-term player pathway. It aims to develop confident, disciplined and resilient young cricketers who embody Gordon’s values of excellence, teamwork and sportsmanship.

The Academy provides aspiring players with exposure to the standards expected in NSW Premier Cricket and serves as a key pathway towards Green Shield, youth representative cricket and, ultimately, senior Premier Cricket with Gordon District Cricket Club.
