We are following the ACA guidelines, which means players stay in their age groups, no matter their skill levels.

Yes, if they turn 5 years of age during the season.

Cricket Express, please see below for more detail – you can pre-order these when registering. Or a limited stock is available through the Club General Manager.

As the players get older generally they purchase their own playing gear.
