Junior Cricket
Mount Clear Cricket Club offers cricket for everyone and welcomes all cricketers whether you are trying cricket for the first time or returning for another exciting season of junior cricket.
Our junior pathway comprises a full program (see below) and is underpinned by our priority on child safety. Our accredited coaches provide a balanced, enthusiastic and fun environment for all of our Mountie juniors to play at their best whilst learning and developing their cricket skills.
We are proud of our family friendly and all-access environment and the volunteer capacity from parents, carers and club members who create an amazing atmosphere for our juniors to play cricket.
