To Take Place In November

A key component in the Bay of Plenty Cricket junior pathway, is the BOPCA Primary School regional cricket festivals that will be held throughout the region in November 2018. 

The regional cricket festivals are to be held in Eastern and Western Bay of Plenty. Rotorua and Taupo and follow on from the NZ Cricket Superstarter program school visits during August and September.

Aimed at Year Four to Six students, the Superstarter program consists of four modules of the fundamental movement skills of striking, throwing, catching and bowling the ball. At the end of each Superstarter program the youngsters receive a certificate to acknowledge their skill level achieved on the day.
The Bay of Plenty regional cricket festivals follow the NZ Cricket philosophy of “Making school cricket programs all about fun, participation and developing our players of tomorrow”. The BOPCA Festivals of Cricket, give the Superstarter graduates the opportunity to utilize their new-found cricket skills in fun non-competitive environments.

The long-time Western Bay of Plenty Mini World Cup, has attracted a record thirty-five school teams this year. The Mini World Cup was initiated by Bay of Plenty Cricket in 2004 and to give the day-out a real flavour of international cricket, all school teams represent a cricket-playing nation. However the best part on the day, is that many of the teams enters into the spirit of the occasion and dress up in the colours of the country that they are representing. The most sought after prize on the day is the best uniform award. 

The Eastern Bay of Plenty junior cricket festival will be held in Whakatane on Wednesday 21st of November, with up to a dozen schools expected to attend the day. Rotorua’s day out for aspiring cricket stars will be held at Smallbone Park on 6th November. 
The highlight for the young players in the Taupo region is their BOPCA Carnival of Cricket, at Owen Delaney Park on the 8th November, which traditionally attracts up to two dozen school teams.
