The Ormond Cricket Club has a full scale junior program that caters for children from the age of 5.
We take great pride in our junior development programme that starts with the Woolworths Junior Blasters Programme (boys and girls aged 5 to 7) then progresses through to the Master Blasters Programme (boys and girls aged 7 and 8) and then into our under age teams (under 12 to under 16). We offer local boys and girls the development programs, coaching, facilities and support to nurture their cricketing talent and aspirations. Run exclusively by volunteers (but we also provide paid coaches for our junior teams) Ormond Cricket Club has a long history and has built a reputation for community and team spirit, integrity and on-field success. In season 2022/23, 7 of our 8 junior teams who could play finals did and we were Premiers in the Under 12A Grade and Under 14C Grade. Our Under 14 A Grade and B Grade teams were runners up. While our 12B and 16A Grade team played finals/
In the 2023/234 season we fielded 12 junior teams in the under 12, 14 and 16 sections in the South East Cricket Association (SECA). Our under 12A Grade team finished second on the ladder and our Under 14A Grade team won the premiership while our 14B team were runners up and our 16 A grade team lost the semi-final. We also had a large number of players represent SECA in their representative teams – an incredible achievement and further evidence of our successful junior program.
Our juniors compete in the north division of SECA which means we play teams from South Melbourne through to Moorabbin and Cheltenham on green synthetic wickets. Our junior home grounds are in the City of Glen Eira at East Caulfield (opposite Monash University), E E Gunn Reserve in Ormond and at Caulfield Park on Balaclava Road in Caulfield.
As a sub-district cricket club we also field an Under 15 representative team in the J G Craig competition (formerly R M Hatch Competition) on turf wickets. Selection trials for this competition are held in the August/September period each year and the games are in the first two weeks of January. All 32 sub-district teams play in this competition and our recent record has been outstanding:
- Premiers in 2018, 2019 and 2021.
- Runners Up 2022.
- Quarter Finalist 2023 & 2024.
We are looking for more on-field success again this season and the club enforces a ‘fair play’ participation policy in the juniors that basically guarantees every player bats and bowls in every match in the U12 grades and lower grades in the Under 14 and 16's. Player enjoyment and development are an integral part of our junior mission statement and in 2024/25 we anticipate having at least five Under 12 teams plus two teams in both the U14s and U16s. We are always looking to grow our junior ranks with new players and if you are interested in joining the club simply contact our junior co-ordinator via email juniorcoordinator@ormondcc.com.au
