On Monday the trio will meet with students at St. Philomena's School in Moree before heading to Narrabri for a session with junior club cricketers at Collins Park.
Gunnedah South Public School is the first stop on their tour on Tuesday. They will then head on to Quirindi to visit Quirindi High School and spend time with local cricketers.
The tour wraps up on Wednesday with a visit to Scone Grammar School and then Oxley High in Tamworth.
Acting Head of Sixers, Chris Botherway, was excited for the club to be able to reach new fans and inspire more kids to play and love cricket.
"The Country Blitz is a great way for us to connect with not only our regional fans, but kids and their families in country NSW who are new to cricket," Botherway said.
