Our story

Why it exists

Closing the gap, wherever you play.

Growing up in country Victoria, cricket has always been a huge part of my life. I was fortunate to develop my game through high-performance programs in Geelong and Melbourne, learning from exceptional coaches, training alongside talented players and competing at national championships.

Those experiences helped shape me as a cricketer and gave me an appreciation for what quality coaching, the right environment and a strong work ethic can do for a player's development.

But accessing those opportunities wasn't always easy. High-performance training often meant hours on the road, sometimes travelling up to four hours for a session. For country cricketers, the commitment to improve can extend well beyond the hours spent at the nets.

Your coach

I'm Lachie.

I grew up playing country cricket and spent plenty of weekends in the car heading to Melbourne for junior state squads and training. I played for Victoria through the underage pathway, from Under 12s to Under 19s, and was part of a Cricket Australia high-performance program at 16. I've played seven years of Victorian Premier Cricket and play in Geelong's 1st XI, as well as experiencing club cricket in the UK and the Northern Territory along the way.

I'm a CA accredited coach, and I've been specialist coach of Geelong's Women's 1st XI, coached underage representative teams, and coached private players at home and overseas. I know what it takes to keep developing when you live a long way from the city, and I want all players to have access to the kind of coaching I was lucky enough to experience.
