Cricket - calling for girls!
Cricket is a great game that complements netball - it develops small ball skills and also helps with catching, hand-eye coordination and anticipation. Netball draws to a close in early September. Why not give some thoughts to cricket?
Auckland University Cricket Club is offering a 6 Week Pre Season Softball Academy proudly supported by PlayersSports. Focus is for players to learn basic cricket skills while having lots of fun, and is played using a "soft" cricket ball.
This academy is suitable for girls who are new / fairly new to cricket, years 2-8. We already have a number of girls signed up for the Tuesday group.
Dates:
Group 1: Mondays | 16th Aug - 20th Sept | 4:00pm - 5:00pm or
Group 2: Tuesdays | 16th Aug - 21st Sept | 4:00pm - 5:00pm
Venue: Tamaki Recreation Centre, 60 Elstree Avenue, Glen Innes (ie indoors!)
Cost: $95
All gear is provided by the Club.
Cricket season starts in early November. Games are played on Saturday mornings 8am start. The rules are adapted such that the softball games are done in 1.5 hours.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
