Streatham & Marlborough Cricket Club
Streatham & Marlborough Cricket Club is based between Forest Hill and Dulwich, in south-east London.
We run cricket all year round for over 350 boys and girls of all ages and ability levels. In 2024, our junior section grew to a new record size: with 259 boys and 110 girls (30% of players). We also have one of the largest men's and women's sections in the country.
We aim to be the most fun cricket club for miles around. Players and parents who have tried other clubs often tell us they love the relaxed, friendly and sociable feel of our club, and the high quality of our coaching- see the results of our 2024 Junior Member Survey.

SMCC formed in 2003 through the merger of Streatham CC (1805) and Marlborough CC (1870).
Autumn indoor training open for booking
Read more about our autumn term indoor training and book now on the 360 Cricket website. 360 Cricket are our coaching partners and they handle the admin for our autumn and spring term indoor courses and holiday camps.
Most squads have a choice of multiple sessions. Players must be booked only into sessions designated for their school year.
New players attending our 10-week autumn or spring training will be in phase 2 of our summer sign-up process. This does not guarantee a place in the summer, but does give you priority booking and typically around 80-90% of players booked into our indoor courses are able to book into the summer. Summer membership is handled directly by the club.
New pavilion nearing completion
We are working towards our brand new pavilion being open for hirings in early 2026.
You can read more about the project on the Pavilion Project page on our club's main website.
Holiday camps - open to all
With our coaching partners, 360 Cricket, we typically run:
Easter holidays - indoors, 2 weeks
May half-term - outdoors, 1 week
Summer holidays - outdoors, 6 weeks
Our holiday camps are always open to everyone - you don't need to be a current SMCC player.
Leaders in girls' and women's cricket
We play five times more women and girls' matches than the average club in the region with a girls' or women's section (based on 2022 Surrey Cricket Foundation figures).
With approximately 150 female players across junior and seniors sections in 2025, female players make up 30% of our playing membership - on par with only two other clubs in the Surrey region. Surrey has three times more girls' teams than the next best county, so as leaders within Surrey, we are also leaders nationally.
In 2025, we ran the following squads for girls:
Girls Under 8-9s (school years 3-4) soft ball
Girls Under 10-11s (school year 5-6) - hard ball
Under 12s (school year 7) - hard ball
Under 13-15s (school years 8-10) - hard ball
2x Women's teams (girls can potentially play from school year 8+) - hard ball
We have all-female training for the girls' and women's squads from school year 3 and up.
Around 15% of our girls also play in county or district cricket.
Our Women's team won the inaugural Surrey Slam T20 competition in 2019. Our Women's 1st XI have been promoted twice in the last 4 years. Our Women's 2nd XI was promoted in 2022 at the end of their first season, and then again at the end of 2025.

Our coaching partners, 360 Cricket
Our coaching is led by professional cricket coaches from 360 Cricket. Coaches and support coaches are all ECB accredited and DBS checked. Training sessions are lots of fun and we’ll help players learn the full range of cricket skills, even in our youngest age-groups. We'll have them playing full-on cricket within a term.
On summer training nights we have the bar open and usually fire up the barbecue on Fridays, making training as enjoyable for the parents and siblings as it is for the players, and we run holiday camps.
We also have indoor cricket in the Autumn term and Spring term.
Indoor training led by the fantastic 360 Cricket, who ensure every session is fun, varied and engaging.

Surrey junior league values & behaviours
In 2023, the Surrey Junior Cricket Championship (the league in which we play most of our junior matches) launched a Surrey-wide initiative to promote a shared set of Values & Behaviours.
The three key values are:
Spirit - playing the game in the a positive and fair spirit
Inclusion - making cricket a game for everyone
Enjoyment - a focus on enjoyment for all involved
These values are very well aligned to the SMCC Juniors fun-first ethos.
