At VKS, our junior batting pads category is meticulously curated to ensure every young cricketer receives the optimum blend of protection, comfort, and performance, drawing on decades of specialist experience and a deep understanding of what junior players really need at the crease. We proudly stock an extensive range from the world’s top cricket brands, including Gray-Nicolls, Gunn & Moore (GM), Kookaburra, Adidas, New Balance, CA, DSC, Infinity, Pro-Tek, SF Stanford, SG, and our own VKS label, offering a wide variety of styles and innovations to suit all ages, playing levels, and budgets. Our collection includes both traditional cane and modern lightweight foam designs, all engineered to provide outstanding shock absorption and flexibility, allowing juniors to move freely and play their natural game without being weighed down. One of the standout models in our range is the VKS Superlite Junior Batting Pad, which has become a firm favourite with customers and coaches alike, thanks to its unbeatable combination of featherlight construction, robust protection, and ergonomic shaping that contours perfectly to a young player’s leg. We continually refine and improve our pads each season, responding to feedback from junior players and parents to ensure we remain at the forefront of comfort, safety, and style. Each pad is designed with multi-sectioned shin protection, reinforced knee cups, and padded side wings, ensuring maximum coverage against fast bowlers and unpredictable bounce, while soft moisture-wicking linings keep legs cool and dry even during long innings on hot summer days. Our range includes pads for both right and left-handed batsmen, with adjustable straps and contoured instep sections to provide a secure, customised fit for every junior, regardless of their size or playing style. It’s crucial for juniors to wear the correct size batting pad, as pads that are too large or too small can restrict movement, slip out of place, or fail to provide adequate protection, potentially leading to discomfort or injury and undermining a young player’s confidence at the crease. That’s why our knowledgeable staff are always on hand in-store to measure and fit each junior cricketer, ensuring they leave with pads that offer the perfect balance of protection and freedom of movement. For our online customers, we provide the same level of expert advice—simply call or email us for guidance on sizing, fit, and the best model for your child’s needs. Across our collection, you’ll find features such as extra-wide Velcro straps for easy adjustment, soft cotton and mesh linings for breathability, and lightweight yet highly durable outer shells that stand up to the rigours of junior cricket. With a variety of stylish designs and colours to match the rest of our junior cricket range, VKS pads not only keep young players safe but also help them look and feel like their cricketing heroes. At VKS, we are committed to supporting the next generation of cricketers with products that reflect our heritage, expertise, and genuine passion for the game, making us the trusted destination for junior batting pads that deliver on quality, innovation, and value—helping every young player step out with confidence, comfort, and total peace of mind.
