NEW CHANGES FOR 2024/25
FREE HITS OFF TEES
In all grades with “Batting Tees” EITHER BALL may be struck FORWARD OF THE WICKET following a Wide or No Ball – this aims to involve more fielders and also reflect the 360 degree nature of modern cricket.
BATS
At Year 3 or 4, plastic gear can be used by those new to cricket or with different abilities, but coaches must ensure that plastic gear is NOT being used by competent batters to gain an advantage.
BYES AND OVERTHROWS
Kiwi – No Byes or Overthrows
Year 3 & 4 – Maximum 1 Bye or Overthrow
Continuation –
YEAR 6 BOYS HARDBALL moves to Post-Christmas variation in February 2025
