Playing for us
Play for the Bears
The UTS North Sydney District Cricket Club is a premier sporting club at UTS competing in the Sydney Premier Cricket Competition, a feeder for the NSW State Team.
Our club fields 5 Men’s grade teams, with our 1st grade team competing in arguably the strongest club competition in the world. UTS North Sydney launched a women's cricket program in 2018/19. We are striving as a club to expand the program to a full women's grade structure over the next five seasons
We strive to create an environment to produce first class cricketers, and to enhance that pathway, we provide a coaching staff of ex-first class cricketers who bring their own experiences to drive performance. Complementing our coaching structure are some of the finest grounds in NSW, with our first grade cricket played at the iconic North Sydney Oval.
The Bears is the place for cricketers with a passion for the game and a desire to wear the Baggy Blue.
National University Championships
Each year we send a team to compete at the National University Championships where we compete against the best student cricketers from across the country. This is the pinnacle for student cricketers with the winning team being chosen to represent Australia at the World University Championships. The UTS team has featured in the top 4 every year since 2011 and were Champions in 2014 and 2018 and runners-up in 2019.
