Clubs and programs are once again opening up and taking registrations, giving kids an opportunity to get back out onto the grass and into the waves.
As part of its commitment to the health and wellbeing of Australian children, Woolworths is a long-running supporter of kids' sport through its partnerships with Cricket Australia, Surfing Australia and Netball Australia.
That includes being the official naming rights partner for Woolworths Cricket Blast, an action-packed program for kids aged 5-10 to learn the basic skills of cricket, and Woolworths Surf Groms, giving kids aged 5-12 their first steps into surfing.
"At Woolworths, we're committed to helping kids pick fresh and play fresh," Woolworths chief marketing officer, Andrew Hicks said.
"With our partners, we want to help teach kids about the natural connection between eating healthy and performing at their best.
"Our ongoing support for grassroots sport is a key demonstration of this and we know just how influential these programs can be in setting kids up with healthy behaviours from a young age.
"We're excited to see the return of Woolworths Cricket Blast and Woolworths Surf Groms across the country in time for the holidays."
In the Great Lakes the program is available through the Great Lakes Junior Cricket Club and the Great Lakes Surf School
