Our mission at the Fassifern Bushrangers is to inspire and encourage people to be the best they can be while creating lifelong memories with family, friends and the community. We have had many teams that have competed in our competition, but like a lot of cricket associations and clubs over recent year we saw a reduction in numbers. These two separate identities were merged and the Fassifern Crick
et Association name was kept and we had one cricket entity in the Fassifern District. In our last season of the Fassifern Cricket Association we had three local junior and senior teams. This is when we made the decision to dissolve the local competition and play as a club in the Ipswich and West Moreton Cricket Association. This is how we became to be playing as a club and the Fassifern Bushrangers were born. We still trade as Fassifern Cricket Association with Cricket Australia and our bank account still showing Fassifern Cricket Association. Just over three years ago the management committee put their heads together to create a strategic plan that would work toward increasing player participation and rebuild the club. I have included the strategic plan for your perusal. In this strategic plan we have used young members to engage the local schools and run cricket day and also run our Milo In 2 Cricket program on a Wednesday afternoon. We are just about to run our first Milo T20 Blast program with the assistance of Queensland Cricket. In the past three season we have seen the participant of our entry level cricket program increase by 60% and over the coming seasons the club is looking to increase our numbers in these programs and develop them into future club and community leaders. Just in the past two seasons we have been able to field an under 10 team for the first time which gave us teams in Under 10, Under 12 and Under 14 team. The goal is get a team in all grade, so we can provide a playing pathway for our players. Our senior numbers have also increased with the nomination of a second senior side. This has been the first time in three years we have been able to field a second team. We are looking to increase a membership and become the premier sporting organisation in the Fassifern Scenic Rim
