Woolworths Cricket Blast – Fun, Fast & Active Cricket for Kids
Woolworths Cricket Blast is the ultimate way for kids to get involved in cricket on the Gold Coast and across Australia. Designed for boys and girls aged 5–10, it’s all about fun, fitness, and making new friends while learning the basics of the game. With exciting activities, shorter sessions, and a safe, inclusive environment, Cricket Blast helps young players build confidence, develop skills, and fall in love with cricket from the very first ball.
Child Safety Resources
Safeguarding Children and Young People
Every child involved in our game has the right to feel safe, valued, and listened to.
Australian Cricket is dedicated to building welcoming, inclusive environments where children are protected, respected, and empowered both on and off the field. This commitment underpins our vision to be a sport for all that makes Australians proud.
We’ve created practical resources to help community clubs and associations strengthen their child-safe approach. These materials are not standalone policies; they’re intended to support you in embedding a genuine, everyday culture of child-safe practices and behaviours across your club.

Why Play Kids Cricket on the Gold Coast?
Fun and Engaging for Young Kids
Woolworths Cricket Blast is designed to keep kids active and entertained while they learn the game. With shorter sessions, exciting activities, and plenty of variety, children stay engaged and enjoy every minute. The focus is on fun first, so kids can build a love for cricket without the pressure of competition. This makes it perfect for families looking to introduce their children to sport in a safe and enjoyable environment.
Skill Development Made Easy
The program teaches the fundamentals of cricket – batting, bowling, fielding, and teamwork – in simple, age-appropriate ways. Activities are structured to build confidence step by step, helping kids improve coordination, motor skills, and game awareness. Even if they’ve never picked up a bat or ball before, Cricket Blast gives them the tools to develop their skills while having fun, laying the foundation for progression into junior club cricket.
Inclusive and Social Environment
One of the greatest strengths of Cricket Blast is its inclusivity. Boys and girls of all backgrounds and abilities are welcome, and the program is run in a safe, friendly setting where every child gets to participate. Kids not only learn cricket but also make new friends, build social skills, and feel part of a team. Families love the community aspect, with sessions often running at local clubs, bringing parents and kids together in a supportive environment.
For Parents
At Woolworths Cricket Blast, we know that parents want their kids to be active, safe, and happy. That’s why our program is designed to make things easy and enjoyable for the whole family.
