The Narrabri District Junior Cricket Association season is underway, with action-packed Saturday mornings at Cooma Oval attracting young players from across the region.

After a couple of wet weekends, the young cricketers are back on the field, building their batting and bowling skills.

The junior competition offers match-style cricket suited to different skills and age groups, while the popular Woolworths Cricket Blast program introduces younger children to the game.

Run by Cricket Australia in partnership with Woolworths, Cricket Blast is a nationwide program delivered locally through cricket associations, clubs and schools.

Designed for children aged 10 and under, the fun-first program combines skills-based activities with modified games. It’s all about smiles, high-fives and helping young players develop a love for cricket.

Behind the fun is a village of volunteers who help keep the program running. Narrabri District Junior Cricket Association has asked anyone keen to lend a hand to get in touch.

Registrations are also still open. To register or find out about volunteering, head to the Narrabri District Junior Cricket Association Facebook page.
