Welcome!

Welcome to the official digital home of the Woodridge U13 Cricket Festival, taking place from 7-9 January 2027.

We are delighted to welcome players, coaches, families, and supporters to Woodridge for three exciting days of cricket, connection, and camaraderie. Whether you are joining us as a visiting parent, taking to the field as a player, or supporting your team from the sidelines, we look forward to sharing a memorable festival with you.

A festival of cricket, connection, and opportunity...

At the heart of this festival is the opportunity for young cricketers to prepare for the upcoming season, test their skills, and grow in confidence through meaningful match experience. As a pre-season festival, we encourage teams to maximise playing opportunities, embrace challenges, and enjoy the game.

As the action unfolds across our fields, expect plenty of exciting cricket, moments of individual brilliance, team spirit, and opportunities for players to learn and develop. Coaches are also encouraged to rotate batting and bowling orders to maximise participation and allow players to develop their skills in different situations. This approach creates opportunities for players to experience different roles, build confidence, and contribute to their teams in new ways.

For our visiting parents and supporters, the festival is an opportunity to share in the excitement of your child's cricket journey, meet fellow cricketing families, and enjoy the unique atmosphere of Woodridge. Your encouragement from the sidelines, your celebrations of every run, wicket, catch, and effort, and your support of all the young cricketers help make the festival special. We kindly ask parents to support the coaches' approach to player development by allowing them the freedom to manage their teams without unnecessary pressure. Every player is here to learn, compete, and enjoy the game, and every contribution matters.

Away from the cricket fields, take time to connect with fellow parents, coaches, and supporters, explore our magnificent campus, and enjoy the natural surroundings that make Woodridge such a special place to visit.

From the first ball to the final run, we hope these three days are filled with great cricket, new friendships, memorable moments, and a true spirit of sportsmanship.

Here's to a fantastic festival of cricket, connection, and the joy of the game!
