Testimonials

Penrith U14 Representative
"Brendon is an excellent coach. Since he has taken Kieren on he has been shaping him to be able to preform much better in games, and also has worked on a good mindset for him to be able to be focused while he is batting"

Michelle P.
Parramatta U13 Representative
My daughter has been working with Brendon since June 2022. She'd never played representative cricket prior to being coached by Brendon but since has gone on to make two representative teams and named captain of her all boy + one girl cricket team. Her skill level and game awareness have improved out of sight and her love for the game has gone to the next level.
