Why cricket?

Each game leaves you with more than what you started with. No matter the run count.

- Connection: Strategising on-field and reliving match play in the clubhouse builds friendships, belonging and community.

- Mindfulness: From a perfectly timed cover drive to a clutch bowling performance, cricket requires focus and mental clarity. Plus, it opens up an outlet for stress relief.

- Physical fitness: Bowling, batting, and fielding improves strength, sharpens hand-eye coordination and boost cardio.
