How to get playing with UNSWCC

Get Involved

Who can join?

We welcome new players of all backgrounds to UNSWCC. 

 

We will be a particularly good fit for you if you are:

 

  • A current or prospective student, alumnus or staff member of UNSW

  • An aspiring First Grade and/or professional cricketer

  • A player coming through our junior pathway at Randwick JCC 

We have a long history of welcoming new players from regional & rural NSW, including several who have gone on to play for NSW and Australia. 

We also have one overseas player spot available in First Grade each year, usually filled by an aspiring England and/or County player in their off-season.

 

While we are a university club, we are also a community club and it is not a requirement to be a student of UNSW. 

Why join us?

We provide:

  1. Professional coaching team

  2. ​Outstanding facilities, with our headquarters at UNSW’s “Home of Sport”, David Phillips Field in Daceyville

  3. ​Convenient location, close to the Sydney CBD, Coogee Beach, and the SCG

  4. ​Welcoming club culture

  5. ​Access to lifelong friendships and mentoring relationships through our senior players, administrators, and alumni network.

How to join

The club fields six teams in the NSW Premier Cricket and Sydney Metropolitan Cup competitions as well as U21s (Poidevin-Gray) and U16 (Green Shield) teams. 

We typically keep a list of between 80-100 active players, including emergencies. Our primary intake is via new player trials in pre-season (August) each year.

 

We can also often accommodate players joining later in the season, for example, if you have just started university or just moved to Sydney. 

Our main requirements of new players are:

 

  • Sufficient skill and commitment to play NSW Premier Cricket and/or Metropolitan Cup, including training 1-3x per week depending on the grade (the higher the grade, the higher the training expectation obviously)

  • A desire to contribute to the aspirational and sociable culture of the club

  • Timely payment of fees
