Junior Blaster Cricket (Reception to Year 2)

This term we have a junior cricket program running at Tenison. This program is run by the South Australian Cricket Association and our PE staff will also be helping out. Junior Blaster Cricket is a super fun, safe, social and active program for girls and boys in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. It teaches children of all abilities the basic skills of cricket. Participants develop fundamental motor skills which set them up for a lifelong involvement in physical activity, as well as important social skills including teamwork and being a good sport. Each week your child will play game based activities that will keep them active, whilst having fun. Like most junior sport programs, parent involvement is encouraged during these sessions. 

The program will be held on the Tenison oval, starting on Tuesday 12 February and run for 6 consecutive weeks. 

Times are: 3:30pm - 4:30pm

Registration is done online.
