TERRANORA Lakes Cricket Club is calling for junior cricketers to come and learn the skills of the game at the Milo In2Cricket starter program being run from 19 October.
The eight-week program involves fun skill-based activities to get children familiar with the catching, bowling and batting skills of the game.
The Saturday morning program will run from 9am-10.30am at the Bilambil Sports Fields on Bilambil Road.
Milo In2Cricket is aimed at beginner-level boys and girls between the ages of five and 10. Cost is $65 and includes a value-packed starter kit including a bat, ball, bag, shirt, hat and drink bottle.
The program will be run again on Friday evenings in early 2014.
Young players are also needed for the under-10 cricket competition, an eight-a-side game played on a shortened field with a soft ball.
Every player gets to bowl and bat and games run for about one and a half hours.
The under-10s cricket competition is being run with a Tweed Big Bash format on Thursday afternoons from 5.30pm (daylight saving time) where all competition games are held at the one field for a vibrant social atmosphere and the following week it moves to a different ground – either Bilambil, Kingscliff, Pottsville or Murwillumbah.and games go for around 1.5 hours.
Cost for the under-10s Tweed Big Bash competition is $80 for the season which begins on 24 October.
