For years now, the game of cricket has fostered greater harmony, respect and understanding of people from all cultures.
The impact that can be achieved by sharing a field together, and the camaraderie that is developed between teammates and opponents alike, remains the calling card of our sport.
The Harmony in Cricket message is about celebrating our commitment to embracing traditional Australian values - justice, equality, fairness and mateship and represents the bonds that hold us together.
We proudly acknowledge that our clubs are a place where everybody, regardless of their cultural background, religion, gender, age or ability feels welcome.
Indoor Cricket
There is nothing like the fast-paced action of an indoor cricket game!
One of the many positive aspects of the indoor cricket is its suitability for children.
Many of our centres have junior competitions, the ball is softer than a regular cricket ball, everyone is involved to the same degree (regardless of ability), and you don't have to be super fit.
With the compact size of the court, no player can be banished to far away on the boundary as some of us have experienced in outdoor cricket - in indoor, everyone is close enough to regularly be involved in the action of the game.
Indoor cricket offers you many opportunities to develop your skills, from social matches to International games.
