Cricket NSW and UTS have launched a landmark strategic partnership to create innovative research and opportunities to benefit the sport and community.
The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) is joining forces with Cricket NSW (CNSW) to launch The Cricket Lab, a partnership which aims to break new ground by exploring new possibilities for both cricket and UTS.
The 5-year strategic collaboration is expected to deliver local and global impact, as well as meaningful societal benefit, through research, education and innovation opportunities across the spectrum of elite performance, pre-elite and community cricket.
Distinguished Professor Aaron Coutts from the UTS School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation said the breadth of opportunity for UTS and CNSW to work together to improve cricket player performance and development is vast.
From using biomechanics identifying factors associated with performance and injury risk, to finding ways sport science and technology can make school, community and professional sport safer, this partnership will ultimately develop evidence-based methods for improving the health of our athletes.
The initial focus of The Cricket Lab will be to cultivate innovation while improving collaborative and original research outcomes and opportunities. The Lab will also improve UTS students’ outcomes and opportunities and facilitate staff learning and development.
