Junior hardball cricket is a modified version of cricket, with reduced player numbers in each team and shorter game time to maximize participation and develop player skills.
Junior hardball age groups are under-11, under-12, under-14 and under-16.
The under-14 and under-16 competitions will be combined with Cricket Illawarra this season to increase team numbers and competition for finals spots.
