Emerging Warriors Program
Emerging Warriors Program / State Underage Program
The Emerging Warriors Program (EWP) provides talented underage district cricketers with the opportunity to develop their cricket skills under the guidance of the WACA's High Performance Cricket Officers (HPCO's). The program has sessions run during the July and October School Holidays which aim to fast-track the development of the selected players, as well as including some pre-carnival team preparation sessions.

The EWP not only focuses on cricket skills, but also covers the holistic development of players with parts of the program dedicated to fitness, nutrition and mental skills.

A major objective of the EWP is to help prepare players to play state cricket at the open age level (for both the Warriors and Scorchers). A second important outcome is to build representative Western Australian teams that are very competitive on the national stage at the U17 & U19 carnivals, with the ultimate goals being to produce players for national selection in Australian teams at underage age and/or open men's.

To be selected in the EWP, players will need to have advanced cricket skills and are also expected to uphold the Spirit of Cricket by displaying a high level of on-field and off-field conduct.
