Junior Registration 2026-27
Glen Waverley Cricket Club is embarking on another great year for the club.
After a successful and premiership filled 2025 season, Our junior program will be going from strength to strength in 2026, as we add in a U14’s program to our existing groups of U11’s/U13’s/U16’s and U18’s.
Our teams will be supported by three dedicated Age Group Coaches - Sagar Pawday (U11s), Troy Denyer (U13s–U14s) and GWCC senior coaches for U16’s/U18’s whom are all highly experienced club players.
We are also delighted to announce that Club Legend, Len Nibaldi has accepted the position of Director of Coaching for the 2026/27 season.
Few people have contributed more to our club than Len. Across an extraordinary 50 years in senior and junior cricket — 46 of those with Glen Waverley — he has given his time, energy and passion to every corner of our club, both on the field and off it.
Len's focus for the season ahead is clear: to increase the skill levels of our junior players, so that every child can actively participate and enjoy their experience as a member of the Glen Waverley Cricket Club
Our junior blasters program last year was a roaring success, run by Zac Tarquinio. He is going around again and bringing his experience and fantastic energy to our youngest group of cricketers.
