Introduction Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School acknowledges the commitment and sacrifices needed to achieve at an elite sporting level within any given sport.

The Lindisfarne Sports Academy offers students the opportunity to excel in their chosen sport, and we are pleased to be able to add cricket to our growing list of sports excellence programs.

Our goal is to continue to grow our participation in local and interstate cricket tournaments by improving the fundamental skill level of all our junior players and providing the opportunities for them to both grow and learn in a safe and supportive one on one or small group environment.

From this, we can grow our presence as a cricketing school, allow individual opportunities for success and, as a school, begin to partake in cricket tours to countries such as New Zealand and potentially (in post COVID times) the United Kingdom.
