Middle Park Cricket Club
South Melbourne Junior Cricketers Welcome
There is a long history of South Melbourne Districts junior players graduating to play senior men's cricket on turf just down the road at Middle Park. Get in touch today if you or your child is interested in a game.
Promoting Young People, Fostering Community Spirit
Middle Park Cricket Club welcomes all juniors - especially juniors from South Melbourne Districts Football and Cricket Club.
​Many of our current players have come from South Melbourne - including legends of the club, administrators, and young adults.​
In general, if a junior wants a game on a Saturday afternoon, we will find them a spot in one of the XIs.
​In addition to a general attitude towards fostering excellent young people and cricketers, we have lowered subs for juniors and offer complimentary attire/kit for the season.​​
We have a number of former district players and certified coaches to help offer a semi-professional, safe, welcoming, and enjoyable way to play senior men's cricket locally.
