​
What clothing do I need?
Matches:
-
Norwood playing polo

white pants

playing cap or white floppy hat
​​
Training
-
Norwood training top (recommended)
-
black shorts/leggings (recommended)
​​
All juniors are required to purchase a personalized Norwood playing polo for matches. These can be purchased via our online store .
​​
All juniors are required to wear white pants for matches. Girls have the option to wear black pants (see ladies one day pants or leggings should they prefer.) White pants are shown as 'two day' pants in the store - you can also get these pants from cricket stores like Saxon, Rebel, Kmart, etc.
​​
All juniors should also wear the Norwood one day baseball cap or a white floppy cricket hat. Note: The baggy cap in the store is only for First XI senior players. For training we encourage all juniors to wear a Norwood training top or singlet and black shorts/leggings. The training tops/singlets can be purchased via the online store.
​​
What equipment do I need?
Norwood have all batting gear required in a number of shared kits. We find that our younger players (U10's & Stage 1 girls) will typically use these kits to begin with, then acquire their own gear over time. Norwood CC does have a buy, swap and sell Facebook group that is a great place to pick up cheap gear or even for free.
We recommend getting your own abdominal/box protector asap for hygiene reasons.
​
What day is Woolworths Cricket Blasters?
Blasters takes place on Friday nights at 5pm on the Mullum Mullum Reserve top oval.
