Welcome to Old Habs CC Junior Academy!
We run a thriving, high-energy junior section catering to young cricketers from Reception to Year 12. Whether your child is holding a bat for the very first time in our Reception–Y2 beginners squad or competing in hard-ball county leagues, OHCC provides a safe, structured, and inspiring environment for every player.
Our Philosophy
At OHCC, cricket is more than just a game—it is where lifelong friendships, teamwork, and character are forged. Our Junior Academy was created to put right what is so often wrong in club cricket today. Too many young players are sidelined, overlooked, or pressured out of the sport before they even get started.
We do things differently. Built around an inclusive “One-Club” culture, we ensure every child gets equal encouragement, meaningful game time, and top-quality professional coaching. We balance competitive ambition with genuine fairness, helping players of all abilities reach their potential while developing a lifelong love for the sport.
