this will see a total of 15 Sixers players visit nine NSW regional areas on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday September 3-5.
Aley and Fallins will visit Port Macquarie, Old Bar, Forster, Taree and Wauchope.
The Sydney Sixers Community Blast driven by Toyo Tyres, is an annual event that reaches into communities in NSW regional centres from the Central Coast to the Tweed.
Former Australian fast bowler Aley said she couldn't wait to get into the community to talk and play cricket.
"Many of Australia's best players have come from regional NSW and the Community Blast is just one way for the Sydney Sixers ensure we keep inspiring the next generation of top cricketers from the country," Aley said.
"It's three days we all love being part of. Players from both our Sixers BBL and WBBL teams are all involved and it's a great thrill for us, and for those cricket communities we get to visit."
Aley said she hoped the people of the Mid North Coast could get behind the Sixers.
"We love coming to the Community Blast and meeting new people, who hopefully become Sixers fans and will come to our games or watch us on television," Aley said.
"And if our visit can inspire some young girls and boys to take up cricket, it's all worth it."
