Get ready for a summer of fun, friendship and first boundaries. Registrations are now open for the Ballina Bears Blast Program, our introduction to cricket for girls and boys aged 5 to 10.

Blast is designed to give young players the very best start in the game. Every session is built around active, energetic games that teach batting, bowling, catching and fielding in a fun and supportive setting. No experience is needed, and every child gets plenty of time with bat and ball.

At the Bears, everyone belongs. Girls and boys of all abilities, backgrounds and confidence levels are warmly welcomed, and our friendly coaches focus on encouragement, teamwork and helping every child feel proud of their progress.

Sessions are held at Fripp Oval, our home ground in Ballina, giving young players a real taste of club life alongside our junior and senior teams. Parents and families are always welcome to stay, cheer and get involved.

Blast is the perfect first step for kids who love to move, play and have fun with friends, and it builds a love of cricket that can last a lifetime.

Secure your child’s spot today at www.joinballinabears.com.au. We cannot wait to welcome our newest Bears to the family!

Registrations are now open for the 2026/27 season at Ballina Bears Cricket Club, and everyone is welcome. Whether you are picking up a bat for the first time, coming back after a few years away or chasing a spot in senior grade, there is a place for you at the Bears.

Our home is Fripp Oval, complete with change rooms, a canteen and lights for evening cricket. Training runs Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5pm to 7pm, with a free BBQ after Thursday sessions, and games are played on Saturdays.

We pride ourselves on being a friendly, inclusive club. Boys and girls, men and women, juniors and seniors, beginners and experienced players all train side by side, supported by coaches who care about every player’s development and enjoyment. Off the field, our steak nights and trivia nights bring players, families and supporters together.

Registration is also the best value in the area. Junior fees are $106 and senior fees are $200, which includes your playing shirt, pants, cap, wide brim hat and training shirt.
