We run cricket for girls and boys of all ages, and 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).
Spring term indoor training
Our Spring term training sessions are open for booking.
Some courses are full, but we still have a few spaces left in many of our sessions.
Most of the girls' and girls-focussed sessions have availability.
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 over 130 female players across all age-groups in 2023, female players make up close to 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 2024, we are running 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 12-13s (school years 7-8) - hard ball
Under 14-16s (school years 9-11) - 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, and our Women's 2nd XI was promoted in 2022 at the end of their first season.

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.
