At VKS, our Junior Cricket Helmet category is dedicated to the safety and confidence of young cricketers, reflecting the essential rule that all juniors must bat with a BS approved helmet to meet current cricket regulations and best practice for player welfare. It is absolutely crucial not to purchase or use a helmet unless you are certain it is BS (British Standard) approved, as only these models are rigorously tested and certified to provide the level of protection required for junior play. Our extensive range includes industry-leading brands such as Gray-Nicolls, Masuri, and Shrey, each offering unique features to suit every preference and need. Notably, Gray-Nicolls helmets come with a built-in neck guard for enhanced protection, while Masuri and Shrey helmets offer the flexibility of fitting neck guards separately, allowing for customisation as your child grows or as league requirements evolve. We stock helmets in a wide variety of sizes, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit for even the smallest junior players, because a helmet that fits properly is essential for both safety and confidence at the crease. All our junior helmets are designed with comfort and practicality in mind, featuring adjustable straps, soft internal padding, and well-ventilated shells to keep young players cool during long innings. The design of each helmet prioritises excellent visibility, so juniors can keep their eyes on the ball without obstruction, while robust face grills and reinforced shells deliver the high level of protection every parent and coach expects. At VKS, our knowledgeable staff are always available in-store to help with fitting and advice, ensuring every young cricketer leaves with a helmet that offers optimal security and comfort; for online customers, we provide expert guidance by phone or email to make sure you choose the correct size and model. With our commitment to quality, safety, and specialist service, VKS is the trusted destination for junior cricket helmets—helping the next generation of players stay protected, play with confidence, and enjoy the game to the fullest.

A good junior cricket helmet should feel stable, sit low at the back and offer clear visibility through the grille. Weight is important too, especially for younger players who need a helmet that will not move when they play shots. Our team is always available to help with sizing and to recommend the right junior helmet for your child's age, experience and playing style.
