Junior Cricket
Come play junior cricket at Mulgrave!
We have got programs for all ages and abilities for both boys and girls. Starting out with Woolworths Cricket Blast (7 - 10yo) and onto junior cricket beginning with Under 11s on Friday, Under 13's Friday and Sunday, Under 15's Friday and Sunday(turf), and finally U17 Sunday(turf).
Cricket Blast is a fun, clinic style program ideally suited to young children starting out in cricket. Mulgrave Cricket Club is committed to running 8 sessions over Nov/Dec & February on Wednesday evenings at Mulgrave Reserve. Registrations are still open from this LINK.
Mulgrave's junior cricket program comprises seven junior teams competing in the Inner South East Cricket Association competition.
If you are looking for a junior cricket program in the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne please consider Mulgrave. New members are always welcome!
The club values the development of its players and to this end we run a comprehensive development program managed by our junior parent volunteer coaches, with the support of our full time qualified senior's coach.
The clubs home is at Mulgrave Reserve, where we have a main turf oval and two synthetic ovals.
The club is a proud community club welcoming players and their families from all walks of life and all levels of ability. Whilst Mulgrave always strives for on-field success, it priorities its strong club culture above all else. The junior program is also a pathway for kids looking to make the transition into senior cricket.
With the support of the City of Monash and the Victorian State Government the club were the beneficiaries of a newly redeveloped and expanded sports pavilion in March 2023 with four large changerooms, large social room, and undercover concourse viewing area in front of the main oval. In addition, an all-new training facility is set for completion in September 2023 which will include the construction of four synthetic practice wickets and separate natural turf practice wickets. The club have advocated hard for the retention of the natural turf playing field and practice facilities which are becoming more of a rarity for community cricket, and we are proud to be tenants at one of the best facilities in the region.
