A very special welcome to all our Girls players and especially to those registering with the Club for the first time. Our club has a number of grounds across the Howick Pakuranga area, with Lloyd Elsmore the main ground.
All activity in the Junior Club is managed by the Junior Committee Members and Grade Liaison Officers. All are volunteers who give of their time for the enjoyment of junior cricket, played by the players for the players.
A Grade Liaison Officer manages the entire girls grade and is responsible for the organisation of the grade. Coaches and Managers for each team work with the Liaison Officer to ensure the effective running of the teams in all ways. Remember your Grade Liaison Officer is always your first port of call for any of your Grade specific queries.
Girls cricket is on the increase at HPCC and we are extremely fortunate to have an enthusiastic group coaches, managers and administrators dedicated to encouraging girls to participate in cricket with enjoyment and success.
