Affiliations
Hampton Cricket Club junior teams are affiliated with the South East Cricket Association (formerly CMCA) and the ISEC All Girls Cricket Competition.
Teams
Competitive teams are fielded in a number of age groups for mixed juniors – Under 12s, 14s,16s & 18s.
We will also continue giving an opportunity to play on turf in the ISEC U15 Turf Competition on Sunday mornings – and this year we will also have an U17 Turf side (also on Sunday mornings).
We also aim to have one U18, five U16, four U14 teams, ten U12 teams and four Rookies – consolidating our status as the biggest club in Bayside.
For Girls we have teams in Under 12s, 14s & 16s and looking at building on our four teams from last season – once again the biggest girls’ program in Bayside ( keep reading to find out more about our goal of re-starting our women’s team). We are also looking to restart a senior women’s team this year, which is exciting.

Both Master Blasters and Junior Blasters are held at Boss James Reserve.
Registration
To reduce the work done by our volunteers we strongly recommend you click here to register on-line. Please note, due to insurance requirements, fees are payable prior to the first game of the season. Age eligibility cut-off is 1st of September. Players must be under the nominated age as of August 31st. Boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 15 on 1st September are eligible to be registered to play.
Volunteers
We always need extra hands to help with the early days of your child’s cricket career. If you are keen to help out as a coach, team manager, scorer, BBQ cook, drink waiter, pitch sweeper, witches hat distributor – or just a supporter – we are keen to have you along! We will gladly pay for you to do accreditation courses to help you, but also have a heap of talented people who are more than happy to offer advice and assistance. If you have an hour to spare, I strongly recommend you complete the introduction to cricket course. It is very informative and is all done online in your own time.
Junior Training Days and Times
Training Days will be agreed with coaches and team managers, but will be held at Boss James Reserve, Widdop Crescent and Castlefield Reserve.
Juniors Playing Senior Cricket
Juniors over the age of 13 years also have the opportunity to play turf cricket with the Club’s senior teams in the Cricket Southern Bayside competition – on either a Saturday or Sunday. If you are interested in making yourself available for senior selection, please contact Glenn Finkelde via email or on 0400 130 737.
In recent years we have been regularly fielding teenagers from U14s and U16s in our senior teams, and we want to see even more juniors playing throughout the grades this year as a supportive part of their development pathway into senior cricket.
Parents playing Senior Cricket
We have plenty of opportunities for parents to play senior cricket as well. We have 7 senior sides with games on Saturday or Sunday. Skill level is varied, and experience is not a prerequisite so if you are keen to play on a regular or fill-in basis please contact Glenn Finkelde via email or on 0400 130 737. It is a great opportunity to get back into the game – particularly in a ‘father/son’ environment, which has been so much fun for both boys and their dads.
Women’s Cricket Team
We are looking to re start a Women’s team at Hampton so if you or any family/friends are interested in playing Women’s cricket please contact Glenn Finkelde.
The competition is reasonably social – perfect for a group of friends who might want to spend a few Sunday afternoons having a hit. And following on from the success of our father/son teams, it would be a great to see mothers and daughters running around together for the mighty seahorses.
