Girls cricket

Our club is based in South Turramurra with girls registered from across the north of Sydney, including St Ives, North Turramurra, Turramurra, Wahroonga, Waitara, Hornsby, Asquith, Pymble and West Pymble and Thornleigh.

We provide a fun and inclusive environment for girls of all ages and skill levels to play cricket, make new friends and enjoy their summers!

Registration fees are $124 to $174 depending on the stage played, plus the compulsory Cricket Australia insurance and technlogy fee of $17.45. This represents great value for a full season of cricket on the North Shore.

We are planning a "come and try" day at the end of August. To express your interest or ask any questions about the girls cricket season, email [email protected].

Ready to register? find the link below for the relevant age group. Not sure about age groups and stages? That's fine, email the address above and we will talk you through it.

To provide the widest range of cricket options for girls on the North Shore, we enter teams in Stages 1, 2 and 3 in both the HK&HDCA (Hornsby Kuring-gai & Hills District) and NSJCA (North Shore Junior) associations.

Girls cricket is stage-based, meaning it is not solely focus on age and so has some flexibility in age groups. This allows for new players to play at a level they feel comfortable in.

Girls cricket is stage & skill based and age dispensations are available on request.

All enquiries about girls cricket should be directed towards our Girls Cricket Coordinator and the Club Registrar.

Our Girls Only cricket program is made available to girls who wish to play cricket with and against other girls.

The successes of our Girls teams and Girls Cricket Blast programs are founded on the club's ability to organise teams and run skills-based sessions.

If you are interested in supporting our girls cricket programs and teams, contact the Girls Cricket coordinator.

Matches are played on Friday evening, Saturday morning (Junior) or afternoon (Senior) and run for about 2.5 hours.

In season 21/22 we had Stage 1 and Stage 2 teams playing in the NSJCA (North Shore Junior Cricket Association). The girls had a great time practising the skills they picked up in Cricket Blast, and making new friends.

In season 22/23 we had two Stage 1 teams playing in U11 and U13 competitions.

In season 23/24 we had two girls teams, one playing in the HKHDCA All-Girls Cricket Friday evening competition and an U15 team playing in the NSJCA Stage 2 Saturday afternoon competition. Our U15 team finished 4th in the competition, after a great season.

Older players are welcome to play in our Junior Mixed competition. For women interesting in playing in a Senior team, please contact our Senior VPs.

Hornsby Ku-ring-gai & Hills District Cricket Association (HKHDCA) in 1996/97 introduced for the first time a separate Girl’s Competition and KPCC entered two teams, one U/12 and one O/12 (Over 12)

In 2001/02 due to falling numbers, the HKHDCA competition was ended and our teams moved to the NSJCA entering U13 and U16 teams. This continued until 2007/08 season when falling numbers again meant the club could not enter teams.

Girls continued to play cricket in our Junior Mixed competition, played in the HKHDCA association.

2018-present

In season 2018/19 and with support from Cricket NSW, we started a Girls Only Master Blasters program for ages 5 and up which ran at Auluba Oval throughout summer in the evening.

In season 20/21, with players from that program, we were able to enter a Stage 2 team (approx U13) in the NSJCA competition after a 13 year break.

In season 21/22 we continued with our Girls Only Master Blaster program, a Stage 1 and a Stage 2 team.

In season 22/23, our Stage 1 teams (Junior/U11 and Senior/U13) played in the NSJCA competition. The Girls Master Blaster program was again running on Thursday evenings at Auluba Oval.
Our Senior Stage 1 team placed 6th in the competition and won the Cup Division (5th-8th place) Grand Final.

In season 23/24, HKHDCA introduced a Friday evening carnival-like cricket program for girls in the Stage 1 age group. Our Stage 1 team had a massive amount of fun playing cricket under lights. The Stage 1 Senior team from the previous season entered the Stage 2 U15 NSJCA competition and placed 8th, again winning the Cup Division Grand Final.

In season 24/25, we fielded a combined team with Normanhurst Cricket Club in Stage 1 girls playing on Friday evenings. Our Stage 2 U15/16 Girls team finished 4th in their second season in that competition.
Our Cricket Blast program saw over 20% participation from girls, a great result for the club and girls cricket in the area.
