Coaching Bio

I began playing cricket at 10 years old. I worked my way up to First Grade Women's Cricket and further to various QLD representative teams and academies. Throughout this journey, I gained a passion for sharing my knowledge of the game with the new waves of players coming through. I have been coaching batting, leg spin bowling, and the general skills of cricket since 2021.

While I enjoy working with all players, I have a specific passion for developing the female space. My main focus is to encourage young female cricketers to persist in their journey to premier women's cricket. Although I specialise in my areas of the game (leg-spin bowling, batting), I have a wealth of knowledge to share in all aspects and skills within the game. I have worked in a variety of coaching environments including the following: - Private (One-on-one) sessions (2021-Present) - MSW Winter Academies - Boys and Girls - Age 10-15 (2021-Present) - MSW Girls U13 & U15 Teams (2021-Present) - St Aidans Cricket Program (2023-Present) - Brisbane Boys’ College Cricket (2023-Present) - Western Suburbs DCC - Girls’ Elite Academy (2024-Present) - Western Suburbs DCC - Master Blasters Cricket (2023-Present) Alongside my passion for coaching, I played cricket for Western Suburbs District Cricket Club from 2016 to 2024/25, making my First Grade Women's Cricket debut in 2018 at 13 years old. I was involved in various representative teams. My playing experience is as below: - First Grade Women's Premier Competition - U15 QLD Female Team - 2020 National Champions - U19 QLD Female Team - 2022 & 2023 - QLD Cricket Elite Female Academy - 2024/25 Season

Naiya was a great coach, Jasmine got a lot out of the session to help with her leg spin bowling & batting. Great help with technique.
