Year 3 to Year 11 boys at WJCC play in the Metropolitan Junior Community Cricket (MJCC) competition, in the North Western suburbs, under MJCC rules. The MJCC Stage formats align to Cricket Australia (CA) Junior Formats and are on the CA Junior Cricket Pathway starting at Woolworths Cricket Blast through these Junior Formats through to Senior Cricket and all the way to State Cricket, BBL and Australian teams.
Includes a staged approach to help kids develop the required skills in a fun and action-packed way. The stages have been developed based on research, testing and community feedback and are considerate of the physical, mental and emotional development of boys.
