Junior Cricket Hard Ball Grade Options
From School Year 5 onwards, players move into the hard ball grades and progressively transition towards the conventional game of cricket. The aim of our hard ball cricket grades is to provide players with a fun, fair & learning game with a connection to International cricket as close as the age group, player abilities & time allow. New players in the hard ball grades are still most welcome to join our friendly club. Check out our grade teams below.
