JUNIOR CLUB CRICKET

Cricket Wellington’s junior cricket accommodates the Different Ages and Stages format with the objective of providing accelerated skill development, making cricket action packed and fast paced with maximum involvement for participants. This means shorter pitch lengths, fewer player numbers, shortened boundaries and appropriately sized bats & balls, More action, more running, more balls in play, less wides & MORE FUN.
