Age cut offs for a particular grade is that a player must be under the age of the nominated age group as listed on 31 August of that playing season. For example to play U14s, your child needs to be 13 years of age or under as at 31 August 2025. However, players in the under 8/9 to under 11 (Junior Cricket Stage 1) age group should pick the format of cricket applicable to their skill level.

Training

Training times are determined by individual teams. All teams will have a kit that players can use gear from. New players to the club are provided with a playing and training shirt the first time they register.

Senior Cricket

Normanhurst caters for players of all ages and abilities. We will generally field at least one team somewhere in each of A, B and C grade in the HKHDCA competition. Last year we had an A grade, B grade and two C grade senior teams.

Fees

​

Normanhurst Cricket Club is not increasing the base fee that goes to the club and have not done so for the past 3 years. We do recognise that the Cricket Australia Fee has increased and the HKHDCA Fee is new.  But we are doing all we can to keep cricket accessible.

However, we are increasing fees by $20 to go towards a new specially designed playing shirt and a new specially designed training shirt to celebrate our 100th Season. These shirts are heavily subsidised by the Club.
