03

Versatile

The 2G Flicx Pitch is suitable rolled out on a wide range of under surfaces including grass, synthetic pitches, indoors, on playgrounds, over existing worn astro strips, on the outfield or even on the beach! Just rolled the pitch on a firm, flat area and follow our 6 steps to success for optimal pace and bounce

So many applications!

04

Value for Money

Flicx have partnered with ACA to offer subsidised Junior MAP pitches based on being part of a bulk container order. By joining this order system, organisations benefit from around a 40% price discount versus ordering direct in isolation plus access to GSF funding. Custom, duties and delivery are all organised too – see the timeline for proposed 2021 dates

A great investment

05

Open up green spaces

With green spaces at a premium and multi-use sports areas being stretched, there are councils that find themselves under severe pressure in terms of facility utilisation. Portable pitches allow for these grounds to not only be well used, but they could potentially also allow for junior cricket to be prioritised and standards of play increased.

Maximise ground utilisation

06

Develop the game

The 2G Flicx Pitch enables you to host additional teams. Junior, womens and girls cricket is growing fast which creates additional pressures for places to play. Flicx Pitches can be rolled out over a range of bases to create extra high quality match and training facilities. Kids enjoy playing on Flicx Pitches which clearly defines the playing area

Sustained participation growth

Case Studies

“SPJCC now have six 2G Flicx Pitches which are helping to increase the standard of junior cricket games. 630 kids play at over 20 different grounds in the city with the Flicx Pitch meaning that every single park can, within 15-20 minutes, be turned into a cricket pitch. The Flicx pitch provides a stable, realistic cricket pitch surface for Juniors to play cricket on”

Mark Webber

Junior Co-ordinator

Organisation: Walkerville Cricket Club

“These durable and portable pitches allows for two or more junior games to be played simultaneously on the one oval, meaning traditional cricket issues of space and pitch availability for juniors could become a thing of the past.We can get a better critical mass of players using one oval. It’s better for parents, better for players, gives a greater atmosphere and a better use of facilities”

The Grassroots Cricket Fund (GCF) has been established by Australia’s cricketers to strengthen grassroots cricket for generations to come, and will commit up to $30 million from player payments to be invested to support and strengthen Australian community cricket.

What our Clients say...

“With no groundsman or expertise to prepare grass wickets, a drop-in pitch made a lot of sense for us. The 2G Flicx Pitch has absolutely TRANSFORMED THE STANDARD of cricket that we can teach and means we also now play matches against other schools. It has also pushed our better cricketers who no longer have to rely on a makeshift, bobbly football pitch.”

Mark Costin, Sacred Heart School, Battersea

“In the summer of last year, we purchased two more Flicx pitches and have spread them around the country hosting our adult leagues. You cannot put a price on what the Flicx pitch has done for cricket in Israel – it is without a doubt the best investment that we have made and without it, we would have no facilities”

Herschel Gutman, Israel Cricket Association

“Playing on a Flicx Pitch does help with the quality of the games and more runs have been scored especially with the mini pitches where there has been a significant upgrade with the standards”. The 2G Flicx Pitch has met all our expectations, it’s a great product and requires less ground preparation and maintenance versus preparing a natural turf wicket.”

William Belford, Holywood CC

“Bute County fully endorse the obvious logic in purchasing a Flicx 2G wicket. The benefits are numerous and it’s very easy for two people to transport and then quickly roll out to get the game started.”

David Mackay, former chairman of Bute County CC

“The Grassroots Cricket Fund helped Launceston Cricket Club purchase a Flicx Pitch. This has allowed the club to host junior matches on the outfield of our home ground at the NTCA complex, and it has also been used for senior training. We are grateful that the purchase of a Flicx Pitch has expanded the access we have to playing and training facilities”

Glenn Joyce, President, Launceston Cricket Club

Jake Cheesman, Penhurst CC

“We chose the 2G Flicx Pitch because it’s a portable solution and means Novel Sports can set up a cricket experience centre at various locations for all to enjoy. We have already found that kids are very motivated to play on artificial surfaces such as the Flicx Pitch as it offers a good bounce and spin”

Duane Zaheer Lall, Novel Sports (Trinidad)

“The 2G Flicx Pitch will enable us to play cricket where we couldn’t before. It was easy to set up and gives a good playing surface for our students to practice and play matches on, increasing our participation greatly”.
