Of Course the best way to buy new equipment is by trying it out first, but living in Inverness can make that difficult and often buying on line is the only option.
Please speak to someone at the Club first. We may have things you can try on or test out first.
Failing that, we’ve put some sizing guides here for your use.
CRICKET BAT SIZE GUIDE
Choosing the correct size bat is vital for the proper technical development of young cricketers. It is important that the bat is not too long and more importantly not too heavy to hinder correct stroke play and good technique. Junior bats are scaled down in size and weight to meet this important requirement. Below is a guide to help you choose a bat size for a junior cricketer.
| BAT SIZE | APPROX. AGE | HEIGHT OF BATSMAN | BAT LENGTH | BAT WIDTH |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4-5 Years Old | Up to 4ft 3inches | 25 1/4 inches | 3 1/2 inches |
| 2 | 6-7 Years Old | 4ft 3″ – 4ft 6″ | 27 3/4 inches | 3 1/2 inches |
| 3 | 8-9 Years Old | 4ft 6″ – 4ft 9″ | 28 3/4 inches | 3 3/4 inches |
