Thanks Village Cricket Co. for giving my 14 year old son the confidence that he can ‘clump’ it! There’s nothing worse than a branded ‘plank’ which means you can’t get it off the square; with a Village Junior Bat he’s in business.

I bought one for my son after he loved watching The Hundred. Was worried a wooden bat might be a bit too heavy for him but this one seems great.

My son absolutely loves his first bat! We’ve been out in the garden almost every day since it arrived. Thank you so much Freddie & George!

FAQs

A child’s age should be considered when choosing a cricket bat that is size 5. Usually, the bat will be perfect for the very youngest of fledgling cricketers. The size is about right for 9-10 year-olds. However, parents will know that kids don’t all grow at the same rate. It’s more about their height than their age when choosing a cricket bat. Batters between 4ft 11” and 5ft 2" will find size 5 to be suitable. Some people are tempted to give their kids bigger bats in the hope they grow into them. This doesn’t tend to work. It’s impossible to learn the right batting technique if the bat comes up past your waist!

There are a few ways we are able to keep the price down for you:

  • The bat is sourced directly from the manufacturer, cutting out any middlemen
  • We keep our bats simple, offering just one option for each size, suitable for all kids.
  • We don’t sponsor professional players adding unnecessary costs

Our size five cricket bats are made from Salix Alba willow. Sustainably sourced from the Kashmir region of India.
