The Superstar Cricket Academy is a junior development programme that
teaches the fundamentals of batting, bowling and fielding within an
exciting and competitive environment. Designed for children aged 5-10
years (boys and girls), it is the first step on a pathway that can lead to a
lifelong involvement in cricket
The programme focuses on teaching children the essential skills of the
game through a series of activities, drills and modified games in
preparation for their successful introduction to Superstar Cricket, a
modified format of the game.
The aim of the Superstar Cricket Academy is to get children and parents
involved in our sport and to build a new generation of cricketers by
helping children discover, explore, and learn to love the game. Cricket is
one of New Zealand’s most popular summer sports and by taking part in
the Superstar Cricket Academy helps our youngest participants join in on
the fun of cricket. Each child who participates in the paid programme will
receive a Superstar Cricket Academy pack containing a bat, ball, cap,
backpack and a drink bottle.

5-12 years old, and designed to help participants learn the basics of cricket
in an enjoyable and exciting environment.

opportunities to experience the value of team-work and active cooperation
in a supportive and non-competitive framework. It creates an action-
packed, fun atmosphere in which each participant feels fully involved.
