Several drills were part of the afternoon, which will assist the Leeton players ahead of the upcoming season.
Patterson and Uppal are both current players for the NSW side, as well as the Sydney Thunder Big Bash League team.
The former made his Test debut for Australia in January against Canberra and is continuing to push for selection for the upcoming summer series.
Uppal has been making a name for himself in the cricketing circles for some time and is continuing to build on his craft. He will turn 21 next month.
Both players were happy to answer questions from the young Leeton cricketers and were hopeful they would all stick with the sport in the coming years.
