On March 25 Mortlake's Georgia Wareham will put aside her duties with the Australian Women's Cricket Team to lead the final session of the season.
The 19-year-old leg-spinner, who has become one of the rising stars in the Southern Stars side, will run the clinic between 4.30 and 6pm and will be on hand for a Q&A and autographs.
Cricket Victoria Participation Officer Jason Elliott said it was a bonus for the region to get one of its stars back to help the next generation.
"It's good to get someone like her want to return home to the south-west and help out only two years out of the system herself," he said.
"It gives the next generation something to look at and see what can be achieved in the sport and see it in a real sense from someone who grew up like them."
Elliott said there was still time for girls to join up for the program, which is for girls aged between seven and 13. The first session is free to come and try before a $30 charge is incurred.
The program runs every Monday night for 90 minutes till March 25.
