NDIS and Cricket Coaching Services
The following are Services available to people in South Australia with an Intellectual Disability, Physical Disability, Autism Spectrum Disorder and/or Learning difficulties or Disadvantaged, utilising their NDIS Funding. As part of their Management Plan they can have access to Skill Development whether they are children where parents want them to improve their skills and personal development, or teens and adults looking to represent their State or Country in the All Abilities pathway. It's also for those who just want to get out and do some physical activity, be out in the environment and improve their motor skills and experience new challenges to help regulate behaviour. In all sessions there is a strong focus not only on sporting skills, but also social skills such as communication, listening and resilience.
An NDIS Services Agreement for the Services will be provided and agreed via email. This can be utilised to help justify and formalise the services with your NDIS Support Coordinator and/or Plan Manager.
In most cases we will find a venue close to you, understanding that part of the benefit is to allow parents and carers some respite to do other activities or just take some time to breathe.

Coaching Players with a Disability
Inclusive Sports Coaching will provide Coaching courses to supplement your sport specific accreditations. For example you may have a Community Level Coaching Accreditation for Cricket from Cricket Australia. We believe it would be beneficial to supplement that with specific learning for coaching players with an Intellectual or Physical Disability. There are specific skills and communication methods required to be the best coach you can be for players with a Disability or from a Disadvantaged background, and these skills are often not covered in the critical but generic Coaching Accreditations provided by the peak sporting bodies.
Community Cricket Coaching - Coaching Athletes with an Intellectual Disability - Only $2.99 !!
We can also run the Community Coaching Course for Sporting Clubs at a Club Rate - contact John at john@inclusiveitconsulting.com.au
Indoor Cricket Coaching Accreditation
These courses focus purely on Indoor Cricket, starting with the Fundamentals of the game for coaches, team managers, parents, teachers who are just starting to look after competition teams, through to the Advanced Course which provides Strategies, Tactics and Technical Coaching drills and tips for those competing at Superleague, Big Bash and National Tournaments.
Performance Under Pressure Coaching
John is a Representative Level (formerly known as Level 2) Cricket Coach and can work with Cricketers looking to improve their Outdoor Cricket game at both a technical and mental level. Not only can we provide the traditional cricket coaching assistance, but John's experience working with a wide range of people means he can assist children, teenagers and/or adults who struggle sometimes with high pressure situations, have some anxiety, or other issues which restrict their ability to maintain or improve performances.
The hourly rate for general Cricket Coaching services is $85 per hour (plus venue costs if required) or $65/hr for 45 Minutes. These prices do not include any Venue Hire, the venue and the overall pricing approach can be discussed and modified on a case by case basis to best suit your location and budget. We're focused on helping people improve as people as well as cricketers.. Contact John on 0413 319 044 or john@inclusiveitconsulting.com.au to discuss further.
