Action Cricket is a fast paced game played in a netting cage. The cage measures 94 feet by 36 feet with a height of 14 feet. The ball is live off all surfaces. There are 8 players in each team. Games comprise of 16 overs per innings. Each player bowls two overs. Each batting pair bat for 4 overs. If a batsmen is out the batting side lose 4 runs. Games take +/- 70 minutes to play.

Runs are scored by the ball hitting various sections of the net and by the batting pair running as in outdoor cricket. Dismissals are the same as outdoor cricket. The arena will have four courts, a restaurant and sports bar. The sports bar will feature live cricket games from around the world on large flat screen TV’s. League competition will be offered in competitive and social levels. There will be leagues for men’s, women’s, mixed, boys, girls, schools, industry group related and corporate teams . League play will start in September 2011. Each new team will play two grading games before the start of the leagues before being placed in a league. This will ensure leagues and games are competitive and enjoyable for all.

We will also be offering Action Soccer, Action Field Hockey, Action Netball, Action Basketball and Executive Dodge ball. The arena is available for parties, social and corporate events. A junior/schools program will be offered during the week.

Hiring for staff to work in the arena will begin in the Spring. There will be positions in management, administration, umpires, coaches, restaurant, kitchen and customer service.
