Echuca South Cricket Club

Echuca South Cricket Club is a well-established sports club located in Campaspe Shire, Victoria. It was founded in 1953 and has since become a prominent community cricket club. The club aims to raise funds to develop their turf wicket into a first-class standard pitch, benefiting not only their own players but also those from opposing clubs who play at their ground.

The club offers cricket opportunities for both seniors and juniors. The seniors section consists of different grades, with the A Grade team competing in the Goulburn Murray Cricket League. Games are played on Saturdays, with the club's home ground located at the Echuca South Cricket Oval. The seniors also have a dedicated leadership group with a head coach and assistant coaches, ensuring the highest level of training and guidance for the players.

For juniors, the club has a coaching group led by experienced coaches. The junior section offers two levels of participation: Junior Blasters and Master Blasters. Junior Blasters is recommended for kids aged 5-7 and provides 60 minutes of fun cricket activities. It focuses on teaching new skills such as catching, throwing, and teamwork.

Kids receive their own Blasters Pack, which includes a T-shirt, bucket hat, plastic bat, rubber ball, and personalised bat sticker sheet. Master Blasters, on the other hand, is recommended for kids aged 7-10 who already have basic cricket skills. It offers 90 minutes of fast-paced cricket games and gives every kid a chance to bat, bowl, and field. Participants receive a player's cap in their choice of Big Bash team colour.

The safety of the players is of utmost importance to the club. They have a child safety guide in place and require all members to complete a child safety acknowledgement form. This ensures a safe and inclusive environment for all participants.

The club organises matches, fixtures, and results for all their teams. They also maintain ladders to keep track of the teams' ranking in their respective grades. In addition, the club has a list of sponsors who provide valuable support. Resources and contact information can also be found on their website.
