Junior Cricket
The pinnacle of what KCC has to offer is arguably our highly successful Junior Cricket Program. The program is perfect for boys and girls aged 4-17 of all skill levels and emphasizes maximum participation with small group sizes. Groups are tailor made based on experience, rather than just age – and as such offers a clear development pathway from Under-8’s all the way up to senior and national level.
The program offers the choice to train once or twice a week, plus the opportunity to participate in the Cricket Hong Kong league matches. All training sessions are led by our ICC qualified coaches, many of which are current or former Hong Kong national team players.
For full details please refer to the brochure attached. Sign up via the online enrolment form.
We look forward to welcoming you to the club and developing the next generation of Hong Kong cricket stars!

Men’s Cricket
For the last 10 years, KCC has been home to an array of men’s teams that have dominated the domestic scene at all levels. In the current Cricket Hong Kong (CHK) competition, there are six men’s teams across 3 divisions; one in the Friday Masters League (Knights), three in the Saturday League (Tartars, Crusaders and Saracens), and two in the stronger Sunday League (Templars and Infidels). The culmination of all this is the Premier League XI, with the eleven best players representing the club in the highest domestic competition available.
In the last 5 years alone, the club has won more men’s trophies than any other club in Hong Kong. These include the Premier League 50 over and T20 competitions, the prestigious Fincher and Hancock Shield, as well as numerous Saturday and Sunday League Championships. Regardless of whether you want to play socially or test your game against the best in Hong Kong, Kowloon Cricket Club is the place for you.
