About our Cricket Teams...
Junior Blasters and U10’s
Junior Blasters is for children (5-8 years old) learning the basic skills of cricket with participants building their skills through fun, game based activities. The activities are designed for small groups to ensure every child gets a go, allowing them to test and learn new skills. After they have mastered the basics, they will be ready for modified games of cricket.
The Junior Blasters program is set up in a way that regardless of skill level, participants can progress through the different levels of activity until they have the basic cricket skills required to progress to the U10’s program.
Our Junior Blasters program will be run on Wednesday Afternoons at Ballinger Park (Eric Moes Oval), and Thursday afternoons (Nambour Showgrounds).
