making beautiful connections through cricket…

mind, body & soul;

country, community & culture.  

re-creating the lives of young people, families & diverse communities…

celebrating alternative cricket sojourns, yarns, people & passion.

Greetings,

My name is Marcus Curnow (cricketing nickname ‘Real Rev.’)

I am a trained cricket coach, a junior club program director and have served as a youth worker and curator of cricket participation programs across diverse communities, including as a consultant with Cricket Victoria.

I’m interested in community resilience and cricket coaching processes that help young people and their families survive and thrive at cricket and in life. 

Unlike other junior coaching academies that put their focus on cricket technique, club premierships or elite pathway progression, Good Cricket focuses on the relationships and connections that cricket creates between mind, body & soul; country, community & culture.  

My coaching influences draw strong from the local Protestant church cricket club culture in which I was raised,  which I affectionately call the ‘Credo of the Good Cricket Shepherd’. I also draw strongly from Eastern martial arts traditions via Freerk Ykema’s Rock and Water and Indigenous wisdom traditions via the Circle of Courage.
