OUR CLUB
OUR HISTORY & VALUES
COMMUNITY-DRIVEN - COMPETITIVE - INCLUSIVE - FAMILY-ORIENTATED - SOCIAL
Celebrating its 75th year, the Grovedale Cricket Club has been providing fun, supportive, and competitive sporting opportunities to Geelong families and locals. The club is currently made up of over 250 dedicated members.
Supporting mens, womens, junior boys, and girls competitions for a range of abilities, we embrace all individuals looking to grab a bat. We particularly foster the development of our younger members through guidance and mentoring in life, business, and sporting activities. Additionally, the club holds a strong value in maximising opportunities for our junior players who aspire to succeed in high-level initiatives.

The Grovedale Cricket Club prides itself on our strong off-field member base, offering anybody the chance to become a part of our cricket community. We run annual social functions, presentation nights, past player luncheons, and a variety of other events as a way to engage with our members off the field.
We actively work with local schools and community organisations to support cricket and sport-related initiatives among youth and the local community.
“Our major responsibility is to provide opportunities to the members of the local community to participate in cricket and associated social and family activities.”
