CRICKET AT WOODEND
School Cricket is a great opportunity for our students to learn game skills and have fun with their friends.
WHEN ARE WHERE
Year 2/3 participate in the Woolworths Cricket Blast program at Happy Valley Cricket Club. The South Australian Cricket Association supplies all equipment, and students are asked to register through Play HQ, which allows them to receive a participation pack and money can’t buy experiences.
Older children can play either Thursday night or Saturday mornings (for approx. 2-3 hours, depending on age) and are placed into teams of 7-9 based on age and experience.
These matches are played on a home-and-away basis with nearby schools.
AGE RANGE
Boys and Girls can join cricket in Years 2 to 6.
Year 2/3 students participate in the Woolworths Cricket Blast program at Happy Valley Cricket Club.
Year 4-6 students play in the Adelaide Strikers Primary School Cricket Competition, run and administered by the South Australian Cricket Association.
UNIFORM
The school will supply a Woodend sports shirt as part of the cricket uniform. This will be returned and washed in a named bag at the end of the season.
Year 2/3 students are asked to wear school uniform, appropriate footwear, a hat and bring a drink bottle.
Year 4 to 6 students must wear white cricket pants, appropriate footwear, and a protector. Parents may purchase their child’s cricket equipment if they wish. However, the school does have a supply of bats, helmets, and pads, all of which must be worn.
COACHES AND TRAINING
Each team requires a Coach or Coaches/Team Manager (Volunteer/s).
The coordinator and coaches will set down training days and times at the beginning of the season. If your child cannot attend training, please advise the coach.
Training is held at the school on the oval.
