Are you looking for a fun and engaging way to get your 5-10 year old active and outdoors?
Cricket Australia and Woolworths have partnered to create the Woolworths Cricket Blast Program. This fantastic initiative gives all children the opportunity to get outdoors, be active, make new friends and learn some cricket skills.
The Woolworths Cricket Blast involves two programs Rookies (5-7years) and Challengers (7-10 years). Each program offers age and skill based cricket activities in a fun social setting. The weekly sessions are held during school Term 4 and Term 1 at our Brothers Cricket Clubhouse (Junior Blasters) and Riverway Stadium, Townsville (Master Blasters).

Get Active and Have Fun with Woolworths Cricket Blast
Our twins love the Junior Blasters program at Brothers. They have so much fun and the sessions are really well run. It is great to get them outside and being active. We usually get fish and chips from the shop next door after. It's a Friday night ritual when the program is running.
