Buzzing with the energy of Big Bash cricket, Woolworths Cricket Blast is about fun activities and action-packed games for children of all abilities. Woolworths Cricket Blast is available for children up to 10 statewide.
Woolworths Cricket Blast is Australian Cricket’s entry level program – the first step in the Australian Cricket Pathway.
Split into three streams (Cricket Blasters, Pop-up Blast and Holiday Programs), it can be run by both schools and clubs with the intention of developing fundamental cricket skills, igniting a passion for the game, and eventually transitioning participants into junior cricket teams.
