Clothing and equipment
Your kid(s) won't need any special clothing or cricket gear. The SAC cricket section has very generously bought cricket gear and training aids adapted for small hands, so kids under the age of nine don't need to bring any gear unless they've got some already. U9s use soft balls (tennis balls mostly) throughout, so don't need to bring any pads, gloves or any other protective equipment. U13s are moving gradually onto hard ball cricket. For this, SAC provides helmets for all batsmen and wicketkeepers.
Non-member participation
All the sessions are free, but non-members will need to pay an entrance fee at the door to be covered for insurance purposes. This has now been definitively fixed at €4 per child and €4 per adult.
Parent helpers and contact details and parent helpers
Please stay and help us with the session (the more we have, the more the kids get out of it). You don't need to know much, or as we've found out, anything about cricket to be helpful. But with sometimes over thirty kids to look after last week, we are very glad of the kind help we often receive. And please make sure we have a contact phone number (preferably a mobile number) to contact you if you have to pop out during the session.
This activity is run by players from the Senior Cricket Section of the Club.
Under nines use a soft ball and play Kwik Cricket, a reduced form of the game that encourages participation and teamwork.
