Orewa College is proud to offer Cricket at a very high standard and has teams of all ages and abilities playing at home at Orewa and around the Auckland region during the Summer terms (1 and 4). We offer strong pathways from junior Cricket right through to senior secondary Schools and men’s Cricket in conjunction with local club Hibiscus Coast Cricket Club. We currently have a 1st XI, 2nd XI, 2 x Junior XI teams and girls midweek Cricket at Orewa College. There are often opportunities for extra tournaments and matches for all teams which allow you to play Schools and clubs we may not see in the regular season.
Cricket not only develops important motor skills, hand eye coordination and fitness, but includes many transferable skills that cross over to other sports like Volleyball and Hockey. Students will experience teamwork, a strong bond with their peers and a sense of achievement and success. Cricket is a great sport for everyone.
