Woolworths Cricket Blast

Woolworths Cricket Blast is the perfect first step into cricket for kids. Fun, fast-paced, and action-packed, the program introduces the basics of batting, bowling, fielding, and teamwork in a safe and supportive environment.

Cricket Blast is a nationwide program delivered locally by Cricket Albury-Wodonga (CAW) and community clubs. It combines fun activities with modified games, ensuring every child gets plenty of opportunities to participate, learn, and enjoy themselves.

The program is split into two levels:

• Junior Blasters – for beginners learning the basics.
• Master Blasters – for kids ready to play modified games with a soft ball.

Cricket Blast keeps kids active, engaged, and smiling with:

• Fun and fast-paced activities.
• Short sessions that fit easily into family schedules.
• Friends, teamwork, and plenty of opportunities to bat, bowl, and field.

Every child is involved in the action, no matter their ability or experience.

Parents enjoy Cricket Blast because it:

• Provides a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment.
• Helps kids build confidence, skills, and friendships.
• Offers flexible session times to suit busy families.
• Encourages healthy, active lifestyles.

It’s also a great way for families to get involved, with many parents becoming volunteers and supporters at local clubs.

After completing Cricket Blast, kids can move into junior club cricket across Albury-Wodonga. This provides the next step in their cricket journey, helping them build on their skills while experiencing team-based competition.

Registering for Cricket Blast is quick and easy. Programs run across the Albury-Wodonga region through local clubs and schools. To find out where your nearest program is, visit our Contact page or check with your local cricket club.

Cricket cannot thrive without dedicated volunteers and umpires. CAW supports those who give their time with training, resources, and recognition programs that make it easier to stay involved. Just like players and coaches, volunteers and umpires have a clear place in the CAW pathway.

With strong pathways and programs in place, CAW is building a future where every member of our cricket community has the opportunity to shine.
