EPP Intake 2019/2020
Congratulations to Fraser Clarke who has gained a place on the Emerging Players Programme for 2019/2020.

Ed Walker, Carl Hartmann, Jacob Butler, Luke Ward, Nathan Williams, Joe Humphrey, Dollin Jansen, Lucy Barnett and Tom Ward have also retained their places for 2019/2020.

George Burrows leaves the EPP this winter to play his cricket in Australia for Lake View Cricket Club in the Eastern Goldfields Cricket Association league. After scoring 2463 runs in 2019 this will be a great opportunity for George to challenge his skills before the World Cup qualifiers in 2020.

EPP World Cup Challenge
One of the many challenges the EPP players faced was to produce a media clip on the 2019 World Cup.
This was to be 5 minutes long and had to include certain elements including commercial breaks, punditry and player and coach interviews.
The experience was devised to be fun and challenging but is also essential to prepare them for speaking to media outlets in the future.
Have a watch in particular with a Sky Sports host of the future and an Australian Manx captain :)
EPP Trip to Crowden Outdoor Education Centre and Glossop Cricket Club
The EPP including George Burrows, Charlie Beard, Carl Hartmann, Luke Ward, Jacob Butler, Nathan Williams, Joe Humphrey, Dollin Jansen, Lucy Barnett and Tom Ward visited Crowden Outdoor Education Centre and Glossop Cricket Club from Sunday 14th April to Thursday 18th April.
The first three days were at Crowden Outdoor Education Centre which is situated in the heart of the Peak District National Park. The players took part in a number of different activities including raft building, caving, stream scrambling and zip wiring. Each of the activities challenged the players in different ways such as their communication, team work and overcoming their different fears. The evenings consisted of devising a culture for Isle of Man Cricket as well as goal setting for the season and mornings involved 'thought for the day'. Their final task at Crowden Outdoor Education Centre on Wednesday morning was to produce a five minute production on the 2019 Cricket World Cup.
The Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning were at Glossop Cricket Club who play in the Greater Manchester Cricket League with some outdoor training in preparation for the season. The Wednesday afternoon also involved a team challenge with two teams completing as many laps of the outfield as possible in 45 minutes. It was a very close run thing with Charlie, Carl, Luke, Joe and Nathan winning by two cone lengths.
Thanks to Crowden Outdoor Education Centre and Glossop Cricket Club and well done to all the players. .

Academy & EPP Trip to Lea Green & Denby 2018
The Academy and EPP went on a trip to Lea Green Outdoor Activities Centre and Denby CC (Derbyshire) on the 9th April to 13th April. Academy players George Burrows, Kieran Cawte and Jamie Hopwood and EPP players Joe Humphrey, Nathan Williams, Dollin Jansen, Jacob Butler, Carl Hartmann and Luke Ward took part in the week.
The theme of the week was captaincy and leadership 'making the uncomfortable comfortable'. The first three days were at Lea Green Outdoor Activities Centre and the players took part in a number of activities including archery, high and low ropes course, obstacle course, orienteering, team swing, rock climbing and jungle adventure. Each of these activities pushed the players out of their comfort zone and developed their communication and team work skills particularly the high ropes course where a number of the players were really challenged to work together and encourage each other to get onto a very high platform in groups of 4.
The next 2 days at Denby CC involved some outdoor training in preparation for the season. In the evening at Lea Green and during the day at Denby CC classroom sessions also took place around leadership focusing on knowing yourself, managing yourself, knowing others and managing others. This included the players giving a 3 minute talk on themselves and a 3 minute team talk motivating their team before a game as a captain., They also completed Myers Briggs Personality Typing, a confidence session and Phil Littlejohns gave a speech around captaining the Isle of Man National team
This was a very enjoyable and challenging week. Well done to all the players!
