JUNIOR CRICKET

Local Cricket with Strong Club Values

The Sorrento Cricket Club has a thriving junior program, with girls’ and boys’ teams from Under 10s through to Under 18s.

Our club proudly provides a clear cricket pathway, beginning with the Milo Cricket program, progressing through our junior teams, and into senior cricket, where we compete in the Provincial Division of the Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association.

Many of our current senior players have come through the Sorrento junior system, highlighting the strength of our development program and club culture.

At Sorrento Cricket Club, we are passionate about creating opportunities for local children to develop their skills, build friendships and enjoy the game — taking them from the backyard to the Baggy Green.

Our junior program focuses on:

Skill development | Teamwork and sportsmanship | Fair play | Participation and inclusiveness | Having fun in a family-friendly environment

All programs are run by senior club players and supported by a dedicated group of parent volunteers who help make the club such a welcoming community.
