The sessions run on Friday afternoons from 4.15pm to 5.15pm from early November to mid-December, then from early February to the end of March.
Cancellations due to weather will be posted on the Club’s website by 2:30pm on the Friday afternoon.
The AUCC MILO Have-A-Go Cricket is an introductory programme for 5-6 year old boys and girls run by our professional Club Coaches. It is designed for beginners and incorporates high participation with skill development. It provides an opportunity to have fun and to learn the fundamental batting, bowling, and fielding skills of the game, and to experience and enjoy New Zealand’s most popular summer sport. It does this through a series of planned sessions in which the children participate in a variety of activities and modified games.
MILO Have-A-Go is an excellent programme, with the emphasis on fun and positive encouragement as our key objective.
In addition to our great coaching programme, the children also receive giveaways from MILO during the course of the season. These giveaways usually include such items as a bat, a ball, a cap, and even a drink bottle!
It is the perfect introduction for those children in Year 0 (New Entrants) and Year 1 at school as it is played with plastic stumps and bats, and with tennis alls. From Year 2 to Year 4, the Club offers children a modified game of cricket with a softball on Saturday mornings.
Year 1 players who are familiar with cricket and keen to be involved in team games on Saturday mornings can alternatively enrol in the Year 2 grade. In considering your preference to play in Year 2 rather than Year 1, you should note the Club generally requires Saturday cricket players to play in their correct grade, unless the player concerned has exceptional skills, and accordingly the player may be required to play the following season in Year 2 again. Please advise our Club Manager on admin@aucc.co.nz if you would like to enrol a Year 1 child in the Year 2 cricket grade.
Whilst our Club Coaches coaches run the sessions with the players, AUCC encourages parental involvement for the development of young cricketers. The programme gives parents an opportunity to learn skills and drills off our coaches which you can then use at home, the backyard, or the beach!
