Junior Cricket Upper Hutt is the only junior cricket club in Upper Hutt, and it says it is one of the largest in the Wellington region, with around 290 children enrolled each year. It takes primary and intermediate school children from four to thirteen years old, plus college-aged girls. Players are grouped by school year as at 1 September, and a child can play up a grade or down a grade depending on ability and places available. The youngest players can join Smash Play, a skills programme for children at kindergarten or in Year 1. The club provides playing shirts and equipment. Players bring their own black pants and suitable shoes, and from Year 5 hardball they need a box. Club caps are sold through the club's website, and the club also runs an indoor training centre for wet weather. Training and matches are based at Trentham Memorial Park, and the club's registration address is the Upper Hutt Cosmopolitan Club on Logan Street in Ebdentown. Registration for the 2026/27 season closed on 15 October, and late registrations go on a wait list. The club's philosophy puts enjoyment and growth ahead of results, with a focus on fairness, sportsmanship and positive support.
