'Come & Try' Cricket Sessions

Our 'Come & Try Cricket' sessions are specially designed for children aged 5-12 years who are new to cricket and eager to give it a go! Whether they've never picked up a bat before or are simply curious about the sport, these one-off morning sessions provide the perfect introduction in a fun, safe, and engaging environment. 

Each session is carefully structured to ensure an enjoyable experience for all skill levels. We start with exciting warm-up activities, helping kids get comfortable, make new friends, and meet our friendly NT Cricket staff. These warm-ups act as great icebreakers before moving on to a series of interactive games and skill-building drills focused on: 

✔️ Batting: Learn how to hold the bat and make contact with the ball
✔️ Bowling: Practice fun and easy techniques to bowl with confidence
✔️ Fielding: Develop co-ordination and teamwork through catching and throwing exercises

Our coaches ensure that all activities are adaptable to different ages and abilities, so every child feels included and encouraged. More than just learning cricket, kids will develop fundamental motor skills, build confidence, and, most importantly, have a blast! 

🌟 No experience? No worries! Just bring a smile, we'll provide the rest!
