Revitalised and Ready
Putting relationships front and centre of all Dream Cricket activity.
DreamCricket was initiated by Dr Roly Bigg of the Movement Disorder Foundation in concert with the Rotary Clubs of the Southern Highlands and the Bradman Foundation. The DreamCricket program engages its participants through modified and adaptive cricket-themed activities. It has grown to encompass schools and children throughout Australia and internationally, with special focus on Schools for Specific Purposes or disadvantaged schools.
Recognising the power of connection, a revitalised DreamCricket Australia hopes to continue to facilitate high school mentorship on the day of activities (utilising older students from the same school or supportive nearby high schools). From 2023, Dream CricketAustralia offers some basic preparatory training for these mentees. Wonderful friendships between students and ongoing partnerships between schools have occurred as a result.
Working alongside local Rotarians, volunteers fresh from leaving school and who have had rich DreamCricket experiences in the past, may also return to assist with the organisation of the activity. They often help to prepare, advise and enthuse all participants and high school mentors in what is always an inclusive, inspirational and magical day of cricketing fun for all in attendance.

Even More News from George, 10/10/25
It’s been a huge Spring! Have had clinics at Malkara Special School (ACT), across the border at Queanbeyan Primary (NSW) then up to Queensland for a pirate-themed day of fun at Aspley Special School with the wonderful Churchie mentors.
While in QLD, visited sunny Sony Camps at Toowoomba Grammar and Churchie Anglican School with the trusty kit, before winding homeward through NSW again delivering a magic clinic at Gilgai Public School’s first ever DreamCricket session, as well as for the LUZ All Activities clinic with St Igantius Riverview’s marvellous 1st and 2nd XI mentors. Whew - what a month! -

More News from George, 16/9/24
My 5th QLD trip has been divided into three phases due to the popularity of DreamCricket!
Just back from the 2nd phase with a lot of visits to Sony Camps. Hats off (and then promptly back on for SunSmart reasons) to Churchie, Toowoomba Grammar and Marist Ashgrove for incorporating DreamCricket into their exciting and relationship-building programs. It's been an honour to see them humming.

News from George, 13/6/24
Shout out to Minimbah Aboriginal School in Armidale and Tingha Public School for some great Dream Cricket clinics this week. Appreciate Canberra Grammar School for joining in at Minimbah, and volunteers Anna and Jesse at both. Dream Cricket can really warm up the body and hearts in the winter months.
Time for you to have a ball
And play some games that will enthral
Don’t worry if you’ve never played
Those who arrive have always stayed
From Rocky up north to the Yorke down south
The joy’s been spread by word of mouth
With sticky wickies, and bats and bails
At Dream Cricket nobody ever fails
Dream Cricket
We’ll bring it to your wicket
And the good times will be had
We’ll capture hearts
We’ll nurture dreams
It’s all about building yourself and teams
Dream Cricket
It really is the ticket
Everybody gets to shine
Inclusive fun
For everyone
You’ll have a winning time
