Welcome to Mountain Gate Cricket Club, the proud home of the Gators since 1964! Located at HV Jones Reserve in Ferntree Gully, MGCC welcomes players of all ages and abilities. We offer cricket for everyone, from our enthusiastic young beginners to seasoned players.

 

Our Woolworths Blasters program introduces kids to cricket through fun activities, while our Junior teams help them develop their skills in a supportive environment.  We’re equally proud of our strong junior development philosophy - that every youngster is encouraged to both bat and bowl, with careful guidance and a fun, safe environment that nurtures personal growth and pathway opportunities into senior cricket.

​

Woolworths Blasters (Ages 5 and up)
Our Woolworths Blasters program is designed for young children new to cricket. Sessions are 60 minutes of fun, game-based activities where kids can learn the basics of cricket in a supportive and engaging environment. Parents are encouraged to join in the fun, and all equipment is supplied. Each child receives their own Blasters Pack and gets to wear the colours of their favourite Big Bash heroes.

​

Junior Teams (Ages 8–16)
For children aged 8 to 16, we offer a range of junior teams that cater to both boys and girls. Our philosophy is to give all players opportunities to shine, regardless of their ability. Every junior gets the chance to bat and bowl regularly, ensuring a well-rounded cricket experience. We aim to develop our juniors in a supported way that is both safe and fun. Our junior players have a pathway to play senior cricket in our women's and men's teams. 

​

Senior Teams
Our senior men's teams compete in the Ferntree Gully & District Cricket Association. We have four senior teams, including our top team competing in the Allan Bailey Shield. Senior cricket is played on Saturday afternoons and new players are always welcome to join and become part of the Gators family. 

​

Women’s Teams
We are proud to offer a women's team that competes in the Ringwood & District Cricket Association and the Ferntree Gully & District Cricket Association. Our Ladies XI play weekly and our 2XI play fortnightly to accommodate all. Both our women's team provides opportunities for female players to engage in competitive cricket and be part of a supportive and inclusive environment. Whether you're new to the game or have experience, our women's teams welcomes players of all levels. 

​

Veterans Team (Over 40s)
Our veterans team competes in the Ferntree Gully & District Association. This team is for players aged 40 and over who wish to continue enjoying the game in a social and competitive setting. Matches are played every second Sunday, providing a great opportunity for seasoned players to stay active and connected with the cricket community.

​

Senior Training runs twice weekly, and our operations are bolstered by a network of dedicated supporters, sponsors, and a vibrant committee ensuring we thrive both on and off the pitch. Whether you're looking to play, volunteer, or just be part of the community, we’d love to have you with us.

 

Off the field, MGCC is much more than just a club - we're a community hub, where lifelong friendships are forged through volunteerism, family engagement, social events, and shared passion for the game we love. Join us and be part of something truly special on and off the field!
