Junior Participation

Keilor offers a full suite of junior cricket, including girls only and mixed (girls and boys) teams, and is proud to offer its own pathway to senior cricket

​

Participation can begin as young as 7 years of age by taking part in our Woolworths Cricket Blast Program.

​

From this we run U10, U12, U14 and U16 age groups, which then lead into our senior teams which includes an U18 turf wicket competition.

​

Typically the Junior Cricket Season commences the first week of October (after September School Holidays). There is a break aligned with the summer school holidays, while the season ends in early to mid-March the following year, depending on finals.

​

Details for each level and age eligibility are provided below. Confirmation of teams per grade and playing times will occur in early to mid-September.  While additional players and teams can be added as numbers increase.

​

This page will be kept up to date with the latest information, so please check back in for updated information.

 

Thank you - Martin Metz and Peter Delbridge – Junior Coordinators.
