5 to 6 year old beginners can join the Junior Blaster development program on Saturday morning at Kingsford Smith Oval, Longueville.
7 year olds can join the U8/U9 competition, or if the parents prefer, participate in the Junior Blaster development program.
At LCCC, girls may play in Girls Only teams or in Mixed teams with the boys. Ability to field these sides is based on numbers.

WHAT KIT DO I NEED? To start playing you don’t need anything! All junior teams will be supplied with their own kit bag which has all the gear needed – balls, bats, helmets, pads, gloves. Often players prefer to have their own kit, so they can practice outside training.
