Product Details
The MCG Sports THRIVE Junior Cricket Batting Pads are PE-moulded, ultra-lightweight, and feature ergonomic straps designed for junior cricketers. Proper protection without the weight that makes kids drag their feet — so they actually move their feet at the crease. Available in Small Junior, Junior and Youth sizes for both right- and left-hand batters.
Why These Pads Work for Juniors
- PE-Moulded Protection — High-density polyethylene moulded knee roll and shin guards absorb ball impact and disperse force away from the leg.
- Ultra-Lightweight — Light enough that kids forget they're wearing them. Heavy pads slow footwork — these don't.
- Ergonomic Junior Straps — Adjustable elasticated straps sit comfortably on junior calves and thighs. No pinching, no slipping, no fiddly buckles.
- High-Density Foam Lining — Soft inner foam against the leg for impact absorption and all-day comfort.
- Side Wings for Sweep Protection — Side wing on the front leg protects against sweep-shot and reverse-sweep impacts as your child develops the shot.
- Breathable Mesh Back — Ventilated mesh back keeps legs cool through long innings.
- Match-Ready Out of the Box — Pre-shaped to the leg; no break-in needed.
- Right- and Left-Hand Options — Pad shape is mirrored for left-handers so the side wing protects the correct leg.

Care Instructions
- Wipe down after each use with a damp cloth; air-dry fully before storing.
- Never machine-wash — moulded PE will deform.
- Inspect straps before each match; replace pads if straps fray or shells crack.
- Store flat or upright in the kit bag — avoid stacking heavy gear on top.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which size to pick?
Match your child's age and height to the sizing guide above. Pads should cover from just above the ankle to just above the knee — if they extend past the knee or below the ankle when buckled, size down.
Why does hand-side matter?
The side wing protects the front leg from sweep-shot impacts. On right-hand pads, the side wing is on the left pad (left leg front); on left-hand pads, it's mirrored. Picking the wrong side leaves the front leg under-protected.
Are they comfortable enough for long innings?
Yes — the breathable mesh back, soft foam lining and ergonomic straps were designed for kids who'd otherwise complain about heavy adult pads. Light enough to keep them moving at the crease.
