Inclusion and Diversity
Indigenous Round
Each year indigenous round is held to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land where we play. Any team playing at home in this round will be asked to join with their opposition in a Barefoot Circle using a special Indigenous Silk borrowed from Cricket Victoria. We recognise that the lands on which we play hold special meaning and significance to First Nations People.
International Women's Day
In recognition of International Women’s day and the end of the cricketing season, with the help from Cricket Victoria, we organised a ‘BCC Colour Blast Spectacular’ Whole Club event. The theme was ‘Embrace Equity’ and the colour theme purple.
Social Sixes
Social Sixes is an exciting cricket program specifically designed for women! It’s fun, fast and social mid-week activity. The focus of the program is activities that are designed to get the heart pumping as well as teach the skills required to play cricket.
All Abilities Blast
We are one of the few clubs in Victoria to offer an all-abilities blast program. This program allows children with special needs the ability to play cricket, being guided by enthusiastic volunteers in a wonderfully supportive environment. Burwood Cricket Club is a proud affiliate of Special Olympics Australia
The All Abilities blasters were invited last season by Cricket Victoria to play on the MCG day 2 of the Boxing Day test.
Walking Cricket
Walking Cricket is a fun, social, modified version of cricket that doesn’t involve running and uses modified equipment, played in a smaller, enclosed area. Walking cricket is a great activity to stay active – open to ages 65 years and older.
Wellbeing Round
Last season we held a wellbeing round where everyone wore green stickers to signify how important wellbeing is at our Club. We also ran SALT (Sports & Life Training) sessions for our senior males on ‘Healthy Masculinity’. Visit our wellbeing portal for more information.
