Question 9

What kit does my child need?

Accepted Answer

• Softball Cricket: The club provides everything, but if your child wants to bring a lightweight bat, then they can.

• Hardball Cricket: Your child will need a helmet, gloves, a box (abdominal  protector), and pads. The club has some equipment to lend for beginners, but some items (like the box) are personal and we don’t recommend sharing.

We encourage children to wear the club kit (shirt, trousers, and cap). You can order everything from our team store. Grayshott members get a discount—details are on our club kit page.(https://www.grayshottcc.co.uk/club-kit)
