Grade Objective

The objective of this grade is to provide girls up to Year 8 a traditional format of cricket that encourages the girls to continue to develop their technique, enjoyment and understanding of the game, while still encouraging the girls to participate in all facets of the game. A high standard of skill and competition while still focusing on fun and team spirit are all major objectives of this grade. The grade is primarily aimed at girls aged School Year 6 to 8 (11 to 13) at the start of the season and prepares girls for the 3rd Grade Youth teams and U15 representative teams. Dispensation would not normally be given for older girls (high school) to play this grade, in fact many of our Year 8 girls choose to move onto Youth 3rd Grade.

Changes for this season

  1. Balls for this grade are 135g - 142g leather balls from the Kookaburra, Platypus, Dukes or Cambridge ranges.
