We generally have around 275 children involved in Woolworths Cricket Blasters, girls and boys junior cricket competetion.

The coach and team manager roles are fulfilled by either volunteer parents or mature children with experience in community cricket.
Children of all ages and all abilities are welcome in junior cricket. The sport provides a safe and supportive environment for children to build friendships that can last a lifetime. Registrations are currently open for the Junior Cricket and Blasters. Premier Grade Cricketers, be sure to first register with your premier grade club then seek a permit to play with Leederville Mt Hawthorn JCC.
The club has strong ties to the Leederville Cricket Club with many juniors going on to play in the senior grades. Players with DOB before 30 June 2008 are encouraged to sign up with the Leederville Cricket Club.
Programs for all ages
LMHJCC offers the club-based introductory program Woolworths Cricket Blast for 5 – 9 year old boys and girls. The Junior Cricket format is played by 10 – 18 year old boys and girls only teams. These programs are a great way to start a cricketing journey through fun activities based on skill development and having a go. LMHJCC has boys’ teams from Year 4 to Year 11 and 3 girl-only teams of Year 4/5, 6/7 and 8/9 levels with the hope to grow each year. We've enjoyed on-field success winning a number of premierships in our short history, not to mention the friendships made and enjoyment had over the years.
Success
We have strong ties with the Leederville CC for our juniors to progress directly into senior cricket. Since 2012 we've had over 75 players from the juniors represent the seniors with Myles and Ashby Dennis, Jack and Lochie Hardy, Tom Matthews, Kieran Abrams, Adam D'Ascenzo, Jayden Leach, Dion, Dan and Adam Boules, Simon Homsany, Callum Reader, Tom Francis, and Jack Fletcher already premiership medallion winners.
The Start Of Something Big
Our juniors also have the opportunity to access District cricket via our WACA affiliate, Mt Lawley District Cricket Club. Many of our female players have played with the Subiaco-Floreat District Cricket Club. Many of our young cricketers have gone on to play at higher levels, including Lochie Hardy who represented WA at the National U/15 Schoolboys Carnival in Brisbane in Feb '16, vice-captain of WA U/17s for the 2017 National Carnival.
