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.
Juniors Playing Representative Cricket
The club actively supports junior players striving to play junior representative cricket to improve their skills, play in tournaments, and compete at the highest level of cricket they can play. There are multiple opportunities to play rep cricket for both boys and girls across the different cricket associations.
HCC is involved in the formal nomination process for the associations it is a member club with – Boys (SECA), Girls (AGCC). However other options do exist and HCC is very happy to help with any juniors wanting to review what is available.

Parents playing Senior Cricket
We have plenty of opportunities for parents to play senior cricket as well. We will have 7 senior mens sides and one womens’ team all playing games on Saturdays or Sundays. Skill levels are very varied, and experience is not a prerequisite.
If you are keen to play on a regular basis, or else fill-in now and then, 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.

Inclusion & Diversity
Hampton Cricket Club takes pride in promoting inclusivity and creating a sense of belonging within our local community. We are dedicated to providing a welcoming environment for players of all abilities, including those who are neurodiverse.
Neurodiverse individuals, who may experience conditions such as Autism, ADHD, PDA, Asperger’s, or Dyslexia, can face challenges when participating in traditional team sports. At Hampton Cricket Club, we strive to ensure that every player always feels valued and has the chance to enjoy the game and grow, both on and off the field.
Our coaches and team managers are supported with tools and strategies to enhance communication, make sensory adjustments, and create an environment that is both structured and adaptable to individual needs. We understand that neurodiversity is not a choice but a part of who someone is, and we embrace it wholeheartedly.
We also encourage empathy and understanding among players and their families, fostering a culture that celebrates diversity. By prioritising inclusivity, Hampton Cricket Club aims to inspire other community sports organisations to follow suit. We believe that cricket—and sport in general—can bring people together, breaking down barriers and building a stronger, more connected community.
