Junior competition is divided into 3 stages, based on age, and open to boys and girls.
The age group is determined by the age of the child at 31st August in the year of registration. For instance, a child 12 years old at 31st August will play in U13 and a 9yr old on the same date will play in U10.
Remember to apply for an Active Kids Voucher prior to registering your child.
Season 2021/22 provided many challenges for the club and teams.
The season started late, in October, due to Covid-19 lockdown conditions and as with season 2020/21 the season was cut short due to heavy rainfall at the end of February and March.
In between, we had 15 Junior teams having a great time competing in two associations every Saturday morning on grounds across the North Shore, Hornsby and Hills District.
The Committee would like to thank all volunteer coaches, managers and parents who assisted with scoring, umpiring and training throughout the season, we could not have done it without you.
Congratulations to U12 White, Minor Premiers and Premiers for Season 2021/22.
The team went through the season undefeated, with 11 wins and 2 n/r out of 13 matches eventually winning the Grand Final by 7 wickets.
Special mentions go to our other Junior teams:
We were very pleased for the first time to have both Stage 1 and Stage 2 Girls Cricket teams playing in the North Shore Junior Cricket Association (NSJCA) on Saturday mornings.
Both teams had a huge amount of fun carrying the skills they have learnt in Master Blasters into junior cricket and we look forward to them returning to Junior cricket again next season.
Naveen Sivanathan is our Junior Vice President and Fiona Makin is our Junior Coordinator. Any questions about juniors, please contact either of them through the below email addresses.
At KPCC we believe that Junior Community Cricket is about providing all members with an equal opportunity to play cricket.
Winning games, whilst valued, is not the primary objective. Instead we aim to make sure that each player has a positive experience and wants to return the next season.
The focus is on developing cricket skills as well as supporting more global player development. We strive to create not only great cricketers but also great sportspeople, competitors and team mates.
We aim to provide opportunities for every player on their cricketing journey.
Junior cricket relies on a strong relationship between players, coaches, managers, parents and the Kissing Point Cricket Club, all contributing and working together to create a great experience for everyone involved.

Last season saw 151 players across 13 teams take the field in a challenging year due to COVID and the La Nina weather pattern.
Despite these lingering challenges, our Mixed Stage 1 teams had a ball of fun and our competitive Mixed Stage 2 and 3 teams performed admirably to register great results.
Special mentions to our 3 U13 teams in the Blues, Reds and White who finished in 3rd, 5th and 6th position in their competition. A true reflection of the greatly distributed talent Kissing Point is producing through our blaster programs!
To top it off, KPCC Juniors attained 2nd place in the Club Championship for season 20/21.
A girls Stage 2 team was formed for the first time since the inception of the Sixers Girls Cricket League. All the girls had so much fun and are looking to come back next season with some more friends as the League grows another Stage catering our U10s and U11s girls.
The same can be said for the rest of our juniors as they prepare themselves for the 60th anniversary of Kissing Point Cricket Club.
