Yes we are proud to have had the following recent accolades:

  • 2026 – Winners of the Growing Cricket for Women & Girls category at the WA Community Cricket Awards

For all Blasters programs, or if your child is starting out at Junior level, the club has all the equipment required for them to train and play. We understand that parents like their kids to try different sports and that kids don’t always take to them. Once they love cricket we find that players ask for bats and other gear for birthdays, Christmas etc. So a kit can be put together over time and the club can provide the missing items. 

Kids playing in their first year at our club receive a voucher towards their uniform purchases. Club shirts and hats can be purchased here. Branded training attire is also available for purchase but is NOT mandatory. Kids will need to wear long cricket pants (white for boys, navy for girls) for matches. They are not required to wear cricket specific shoes. A quality grippy soled trainer is sufficient. Cricket is a Sun Smart sport and a strict ‘no hat no play’ policy is in place. All Junior Club shirts are long sleeved and broad-brim hats are mandatory for this reason.

Games are scheduled in the morning (from 8am). Stage 1 games are over in around 2 hrs and scheduling dictates that they cannot overrun as this will impact the later games. Currently 3hrs is the maximum for Stage 3 games played by Year 8 and above. Again, they do not overrun because Senior Matches follow.  Cricket is a very social sport for parents and spectators, so regardless of the duration, the time passes very quickly!

Most of the Clubs we play are within 15 minutes of our ground.  The home and away schedule is very balanced, so you’re generally only travelling once a fortnight.

Like the matches themselves, training frequency and duration is incremental to age groups, generally between 1 and 2 hrs per week. Days and times vary by year level, get in touch if you would like to know more.

Yes! We have “girls only” junior teams for most age groups from Year 3-11. Games are on Saturday mornings starting around 8am. The season starts in early October and runs until mid March with a long break over the summer holidays. Training is once a week. Contact our girls coordinator for more info 

Glad you asked! Our Club exists purely as a consequence of our Volunteers. All roles from Committee level, to Coaches and Team Managers are unpaid volunteers. If you’ve got a skill, profession or just a spare hour or two each week that could benefit our kids, we’d love to hear from you! Coaches and Managers DO NOT require any previous experience. Cricket Australia & WA Cricket provide training sessions and online resources to get you up to speed in either of these key roles, and our Club’s experienced support network is always here to upskill you ‘on the job’.

  • Yr 3 and 4 boys can play on Friday evenings, Saturday mornings or Sunday mornings (subject to team numbers, local demand and ground availability)
  • Yr 5, 6, 7, 8 boys play Saturday mornings
  • Yr 9, 10, 11 boys play Sunday mornings
  • All girls teams play on Saturday mornings
