Mudgeeraba Nerang & Districts' Cricket Club

Last updated April 2026

At the Mudgeeraba Nerang & Districts' Cricket Club in Carrara, junior cricket isn’t just a game — it’s where kids first step onto the field with a bat in hand, bowl their first over, and learn the thrill of playing for the team. This welcoming family-friendly club turns Saturday mornings into a highlight of the week, with kids buzzing with excitement as they chase boundaries and celebrate catches under the Queensland sun. The club’s junior program is designed for beginners, so whether your child is taking their first swing or refining their bowling technique, they’ll find a supportive team ready to cheer them on. With close ties to the local community, it’s a place where friendships grow as fast as the skills on the field. It’s one of the Gold Coast’s best-kept secrets for active, outdoor kids activities that build confidence and keep them moving all year round. **What to Bring** A soft cricket ball if your child has their own. Light, breathable clothing and a wide-brimmed hat. Closed-in shoes suitable for grass. A water bottle filled to the brim. Sunscreen applied before arrival and reapplied after training. A small towel for post-game drips. **Best Age Range** Perfect for kids aged 5 to 12. Younger siblings can join in with modified games if supervised. **Good to Know** Training and matches run during school terms only. Visitors are welcome to come and try a session for free once before joining. Parking is free on-site, but arrives 15 minutes early on game days to secure a spot. Club fees cover uniforms, insurance and equipment hire for new players. **Nearby** Cool off after cricket at the splash pad at Carrara Stadium, just 5 minutes away. Grab a healthy bite at The Greenhouse in Nerang, only 10 minutes drive. **Tips From Other Parents** Arrive 10 minutes early for your child’s first session to meet the coach and see the field. Pack a spare pair of socks — Gold Coast turf can be damp even on sunny days. Keep an eye on the club’s Facebook page for last-minute game cancellations due to weather.
