To get kids active and involved with our summer game, New Zealand Cricket has developed new resources and guides for Junior and Youth cricketers, coaches and parents.
Junior Formats
ANZ Junior Game (Previously Age & Satge) spells out NZC's Junior Cricket objectives and, significantly, the necessity to make the game more accessible for Kiwi kids (aged 9 - 13) by making it their size, which means; shorter pitch lengths, fewer player numbers and shortened boundaries. Think faster, more running, more balls in play; fewer wides. Think more fun.
Junior Programmes
Through a variety of programmes and resources, young New Zealanders are introduced to cricket every year in communities across the country. Weather at a cricket club, school or in your backyard, it’s all about being active with your friends and whānau, giving it a go and having fun
