Senior men’s teams are already training for the new season, which starts next month, with training for other levels and teams scheduled to begin soon.<\/p>\n
But in the meantime, the club is hoping the come and try day will attract new young players.<\/p>\n
“We’re welcoming everyone to come down \u2013 even if you’re not interested (in cricket), come and have a try, you might like it,” Ms Anderson said.<\/p>\n
She said organisers were planning to run an informal game format so participants could experience different aspects of the sport.<\/p>\n
“[They can] try batting, try bowling, try fielding,” she said. “It’s more going to be focused on a game rather than a training session.”<\/p>\n
Ms Anderson said there will also be a barbecue.<\/p>\n
Registrations for intending players are open now and can be submitted through the website play.cricket.com.au and searching for the Ballan Cricket Club.<\/p>\n
Apart from the hoped-for under-14 girls team, categories are under-11 open, under-13 open, under-15 open and under-17 open, as well as the Blasters competitions for players aged five to seven.<\/p>\n
