Welcome to Glen Waverley Cougars Cricket Club Inc.

It is with great excitement that the club can announce the upcoming pre-season schedule for our Senior and Junior teams.

This season our Seniors and Juniors will train alongside each other at the first class Tails Never Fails HQ indoor facility in Oakleigh.

We see this as a great opportunity to further build bridges between our Senior and Junior programs and grow our club as a family club with strong interaction between our players, their parents and supporters.

Please be aware that training times do vary slightly each week to allow us to book out all 4 lanes at the venue. We will also once again have access to an additional lane with a bowling machine for some one-on-one coaching.

We will also be looking to incorporate 3 - 4 outdoor sessions at Caloola Reserve after the completion of our indoor sessions (dates and times to be advised on a week by week basis, weather pending). These sessions will be open to Juniors and Seniors and will focus largely on fielding and bonding. Outdoor sessions will be advised on a Thursday or Friday.

We have penciled in Saturday 2nd September as our Junior Registration Day (more information will be made available over the next few weeks).

Pre-season schedule as follows -

- Saturday 5th August (10:00am - 11:00am)

- Saturday 12th August (11:00am - 12:00pm)

Cost will be $10 per Senior and $5 per Junior.

We kindly ask everyone to rock up 10 minutes before each session so we can complete a warm up and get into it as soon as our session starts.

Once again, we have a strong focus on recruitment so please bring down any family or friends who are interested in joining our great club.
