The transition from playing softball to hardball cricket represents a significant leap in both the skill level required and the protective equipment needed.

As players prepare to face the challenges of hardball cricket, it becomes essential to equip themselves with a complete hardball cricket kit. This kit must include a cricket helmet, leg pads, gloves for hand protection, and a durable wooden bat, all designed to ensure safety and enhance performance on the field.

Although our club possesses a number of these kits available for game days, our resources are not sufficient to provide for all our teams and every player. To ensure that all our cricketers have access to the necessary equipment, we highly recommend Gary Stanyer, the dedicated owner of Spyder Bats in Tunstall. Gary's shop is renowned for its selection of top-quality cricket gear, offered at prices that are both affordable and competitive.

For those in need of upgrading their kit or purchasing new equipment, a visit to Spyder Bats, or a call to Gary at 01782 812259, is strongly advised. This step is crucial not only for player safety but also for enhancing the overall cricketing experience as players advance in the sport.

It's worth mentioning that Spyder Bats doesn't sell their products online. However, if you prefer shopping for cricket equipment online, there are many options available. A good choice is Village Cricket Co www.villagecricket.co , which offers junior bats for £57 to £67, as well as pads and gloves at reasonable prices. They also have bundle deals. Please note, the club doesn't receive any benefits or commissions from any of our recommendations or the suppliers we suggest for cricket kit.
