It provides a fun, inclusive, and action-packed environment where kids of all abilities learn the basics of cricket through game-based activities. The program uses safe equipment like plastic bats and rubber balls to ensure a secure environment for all participants. It’s the perfect first step for kids looking to progress into junior competitions or just have a bit of fun.

See below for details of each stage.
Junior Comp Stages
1
Stage 1
YR 4 and 5 Boys; YR 4-5, 6-7 Girls
Played on smaller pitches with softer balls.
All players get a turn to bat, bowl, and field
Batters face a set number of balls; dismissals result in runs added to the opposing team’s score—but the batter keeps batting (so don't worry about a golden duck - just keep on batting).
Everyone bowls a set number of overs​
Field placements rotate
Focus: Skill development, fun, and confidence.
2
Stage 2
YR 6 and 7 Boys; YR 8-9 Girls
-
Played on a longer pitch with a harder ball and more realistic match conditions.
-
Dismissals count—when you’re out, you’re out—encouraging players to value their wicket and respect the game.
-
Focus: Game tactics, teamwork, running between wickets, and field placement.
