JUNIOR CRICKET
Aberfeldie Junior Cricket runs one of the Northwest of Melbourne's largest and most successful programs. In recent years we have fielded 16 boys and girls teams and provide opportunities for kids of all abilities from Division 1 level down to beginners.
​
The club has had many players progress through representative pathways into Premier cricket and Victorian teams. Many of our senior Aberfeldie players have played Premier cricket (eg Essendon, Carlton, Footscray) before returning to play for their home club.
​
The club prides itself on providing equal opportunity to boys and girls of all levels, with policies in place to ensure batting, bowling and fielding are shared, all kids are developed and feel included.
NEW TO CRICKET?
Many of our Juniors have never played Cricket before and transitioned into cricket from other sports. It is a fun, non-contact game that develops hand-eye coordination, fitness and team-orientated skills. We will provide you with training required to ensure the game is fun and you have the ability to hone your current sporting skills, and use them to your advantage.
