Our Junior Cricket Academy is for cricketers playing in Years 5 to 8 (hardball cricket). Run by professional coaches, the aim is to give players additional coaching to their team practice. On Wednesday afternoons, delivered at the Karori Park nets and on pitch J5 for open wicket trainings, the Academy is intended for those keen cricketers who want extra coaching and skills training. Into its third season, KCC has established the Academy as a multi-year investment to put in place a pathway for players into our Youth and then Senior sections of the Club. The cost to attend the Academy for the 2025/2026 season is $120 for Karori registered players. Players from other clubs are welcome but will be charged an additional fee. Places are limited, so please register early. If necessary, preference will be given to older players.

​

Purpose Statement: Encourage, empower and nurture, giving our future stars the chance to shine.

​

Approach: Experienced coaches and current players working with small groups and teams to improve technical skills, game knowledge and awareness and the enjoyment of cricket.

If your child enjoys the Academy experience then they are able to request 1:1 coaching with Academy coaches but this will be charged per session.
