The Sessions Involve
- Video analysis
- Full video report
- One optional personal session with Graham Yallop
- Nine individual sessions with Shaun Brown or his staff
- Bowling machine discounts for additional practice
What does the program cover?
The program begins with video analysis, this sets up the skills that need extra attention. However if you would like to cover some specific problems speak to Shaun before or during the first session. If you are an all rounder it is possible to cover both batting and bowling, or any other skill in the game during your ten sessions.

Who becomes a winter warrior?
Because this program is one on one coaching, players of all ages and standards work on there cricket over the winter. It is not unusual to coach a young beginner at 4:30pm followed by a district player at 5:00pm! The only proviso is that you are keen and want to improve.
Four venues to choose from
You have the choice of Shaun's centre, CLEVER CRICKET in Thomastown (just off the ring road); his base for the past fifteen years Maddocks Sports at Blackburn, Western Region Cricket Centre Brooklyn or Clayton Cricket Centre, Clayton.
The coaching is conducted on a fortnightly basis and is open to players of all ages and abilities. With the optional discount bowling machine rate to be utilised (if chosen) when it suits you (Thomastown only). Since it's introduction, the Winter Warrior program has been my most popular program and no doubt one of the most comprehensive winter training programs in the State!
Optional Graham Yallop Session
The optional Graham Yallop session is available at Clever Cricket Thamastown only. All sessions run May 7 to May 11 between 4.00pm till 8.30pm. Separate confirmation letters are sent in addition to this full Winter Warriors confirmation. If you are yet to book this session be quick as positions are limited.
