Junior Grading

Wanting to play for Wests in MSW junior fixtures? Come along to a grading day, sign on and we’ll find the right team for you!

All MSW competitions have moved to the new Cricket Australia stage-based system. Details of the CA stage-based system can be found here. Teams are no longer selected based primarily on age, although age will still be taken into consideration! Our policy is to keep players together wherever possible who have played together in previous seasons and want to continue to play.

We encourage all Stage 1 players attend grading, we look forward to meeting our new juniors.

If you have played for the club previously we will be needing to look at you again as no doubt you have grown and your game has changed since we last saw you. If you are new to the club it is super important the highly trained eyes of the coaches get to see you to place you in the right level.

It is recommended that players new to the club attend the season launch or get in touch with us at juniors@westsdcc.cricket
