Welcome to a to Howick Pakuranga Cricket Club. We hope you enjoy the friendship of your team mates and success on the field. Our club has a number of grounds across the Howick Pakuranga area, with Lloyd Elsmore the main ground.
At Howick Pakuranga we take pride in providing an opportunity for young cricketers to play in an organised sporting environment. Here at HPCC it is important that there is an emphasis placed on the enjoyment of the game and the clubs objective encompasses this enjoyment with:
“ to provide enjoyable cricket for children of all levels of ability”
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 each grade and is responsible for the organisation of
their 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.
The general rule of thumb is the player plays in this grade correlating to their school
year (i.e. Someone in year 5 at the club should be in year 5 at school.) as at 1 September.
The season traditionally commences on the first Saturday after Labour weekend and contiues through to the weekend prior to Christmas.
The Season then restarts on the first Saturday after Waitangi Day and continues through to the end of March. For the exact dates please refer to the Club Calendar.
All players must wear a white Club shirt, white shorts, white socks and white shoes (white or club hats are encouraged.) Cricket Express (29 Enfield St. Mt Eden) have Club approved clothing available.
The uniform is available through our Online Registration or from Cricket Express, 29 Enfield St. Mt Eden. Howick Pakuranga Cricket members receive a 10% discount on some items so remember to say you are from Howick Pakuranga .
Please ensure that players have the correct uniform in time for the season start at the end of October.
