CLINTON KEENAN - HEAD COACH OF JUNIOR CRICKET
Cricket has become such an important aspect of my life. Playing cricket at an age group representative level was great fun, but coaching and passing on knowledge is much more enjoyable than playing ever was for me. My journey in cricket took a meaningful turn because of my son, Bailey. To give him the best chance of playing the sport he loves, I knew I had to get qualified. In the process, I discovered my true passion: coaching. As I coached other children, I found that most of them responded well to my style. My philosophy is simple: care for the person first, player second. This approach helps me bring out the best in each player. Being part of the Magic family has been a blessing. Owners Pete and Tam Wrigley have always given me the freedom to pick and retain players and coaches, and to create opportunities for those who might not have had a chance otherwise. My coaching philosophy, "Character over skill; good people make good cricketers," guides everything I do. Winning BPL 01 with the Under 13s was a fantastic achievement and a day I will remember forever. However, following the individual players and their paths into cricket is much more rewarding. Around the cricket circles and at the games I attend, whether to watch or coach, conversations often turn to The Magic and my involvement. I am proud to be associated with this tournament, but more importantly, this franchise. The journey continues, and I look forward to many more rewarding experiences in the world of cricket.
PHIL TSINGO - UNDER 13'S COACH
Level 2 Cricket Coach As a Level 2 Cricket Coach and Life Member of the Lakes Cricket Club, I bring over a decade of experience in nurturing young talent. With 10 years coaching junior cricket, 3 years in school cricket, and currently in my 3rd year coaching Century Cricket, my approach is holistic and player-centric. I believe cricket is not just a sport but a journey of self-discovery and teamwork. My philosophy revolves around instilling a lifelong love for cricket in young players. I focus on fostering a positive attitude and encouraging players to surpass their own boundaries. Our training sessions are filled with fun activities and team-building exercises like dancing, which help reduce competition stress and promote unity and friendship. While I am competitive and strive for excellence, I emphasise the importance of controlling what we can and not being fixated on results. Success, to me, is when players enjoy the game so much that they eagerly return for more. My goal is to create an environment where players grow not just as cricketers but as individuals, learning valuable life lessons through the ups and downs of the game. Wishing you all the best in Cricket. Coach Phill.
