Aim

  • Guaranteed Participation - As with all our grades the development of the player and enjoyment of the game are seen as more important than the result. All players will bat and bowl in every match.
  • ‘NOTHING CAN JUSTIFY A WIN-AT-ALL COSTS APPROACH’

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. They should enjoy a high standard of skill and competition while still focusing on fun and team spirit which are all major objectives of this grade. The grade is primarily aimed at girls aged School Year 7 and 8 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
