SEASON 2017/18 SPONSORSHIP PROPOSAL

ABOUT THE CLUB

Born in the heart of the Sturt District in 1897, the SDCC has a very proud and distinguished history. The club has played a key role in the development, promotion and progress of the game in South Australia and has in recent times produced several Australian Test players, including Wayne “Flipper” Phillips, Shaun “The Wild Thing” Tait, and Megan Schutt.

Since its inception, the SDCC has achieved premiership success on 100 occasions, the greatest number of any South Australian District Cricket club. We are extremely proud of this achievement and are striving to add to this tally in season 2017/18.

LOCATION

The SDCC calls the picturesque Price Memorial Oval at Angas Road Hawthorn home and this is where we train and where post match gatherings and functions are held throughout the season. We have worked extremely hard to improve the standard of our playing and practice facilities. This has been recognised by the SACA and as last year we were chosen to host matches in the Under 19 National Championships, including the quarter final.

OUR OBJECTIVES

The SDCC continues to strive to be the most successful, professional and inclusive cricket club in South Australia. We aim to provide the best playing and practice conditions for our players and provide them with the best coaching possible such that the club can participate in and win finals on a consistent basis.

We strive to create an environment that will enable our young cricketers to achieve their potential and in some cases not only represent the SDCC at the highest level but also the South Australian State Team and ultimately represent Australia at Test level. We are also extremely proud of our club culture such that our players and supporters enjoy being a part of the SDCC.

We also consider it to be the responsibility of the SDCC to provide an environment for character development of our young cricketers and to providing a strong social network for our players and supporters. U14 Premiers 2015/16 STURT DISTRICT CRICKET CLUB
