How we started - What we do

Western Districts Schoolchildren’s Cricket Association was founded 27 April 1964 and is the major Junior Cricket Association in West Auckland.

The associations has three key responsibilities.

COACHING & DEVELOPMENT

Western Districts Schoolchildren’s Cricket Association caters for coaching and development of young cricketers both male and female from the ages of five to seventeen years of age.

To achieve this, each year, a panel of three convenors trials and selects players in the various age groups to undertake a winter training program.

The convenors are put forward by each of the principal clubs. Trialists are nominated by their coaches.

SELECTION OF AGE GROUP REPRESENTATIVE TEAMS

From these squads players are selected for teams to represent Western Districts at age group tournaments during the Christmas school holiday break.

ORGANISATION OF SATURDAY MORNING COMPETITION

Our other major activity is "to promote, organise and foster Saturday morning cricket competition within the area defined by the Auckland Cricket Association."
