TALLAROOK Cricket Club is encouraging prospective junior cricketers to attend training and get active this summer.
Tallarook will this season host a Woolworths Blast Cricket Program for players aged between five and nine, as well as junior sides in the Seymour District Cricket Association in the under 11 and under 13 divisions.
Under 13 cricket will be played on Saturday morning and under 11 on a Friday night, with club training for juniors every Thursday effective immediately.
Tallarook Cricket Club president Leigh Irving encouraged anyone thinking of getting involved in cricket to give it a go.
“Tallarook is an incredibly welcoming environment and we have no doubt our juniors will have a great season both on and off the field,” he said.
“I’ve been involved at the club my whole life. Being involved in junior cricket here is a chance to make lifelong friends for both parents and kids.”
Mr Irving said the club was not concerned about ability but instead about having a good time with friends and enjoying the community atmosphere.
“If you’ve got kids a bit nervous or uncertain about getting involved in cricket, bring them along to a Thursday night session and they won’t look back,” he said.
While training has already commenced, the club is hosting a junior registration night on October 5 before the junior season commences the week starting October 18.
“Our registration night will be a great chance for kids to sign up and get a really good feel of the club and the people involved,” Mr Irving said.
“Our juniors really benefit from the skills of our senior cricketers who will be on hand across the season on Thursday nights to support their development.
“We’ve been incredibly successful on field for a long time and are really looking forward to watching our juniors become the future stars of the club.”
