What is Marcellin Old Collegians Cricket Club?
Marcellin Old Collegians Cricket Club (MOCCC) is an Australian community cricket club in the Marcellin College tradition, founded in 1973 and known as the "Mighty Eagles." It fields senior teams and runs a junior program, and it presents itself as a club built on fairness, hard work and loyalty, with players encouraged to "have a go" and play positive cricket.
Who it is for
- Senior players representing the Old Collegians and the wider Marcellin community.
- Children aged 5–10, who can join the Woolworths Cricket Blast introductory program.
- Non-playing supporters, through social membership packages that fund the club for a season.
What the club offers
The club combines competitive cricket with a social side. Recent news highlights include a 2nd XI D Turf premiership and the appointment of Cameron Vos as Head Coach for 2026/27, alongside junior registration. Social memberships are tiered — Golden Eagle, Silver Eagle and Junior Eagle — with benefits such as selection-night dinners, a playing hat, trivia night entry and merchandise. Prices shown on the club's store start at $50 for social membership, with higher tiers at $75 and $150.
How to decide if it fits
If you want organised senior cricket with a strong alumni and community culture, this is a straightforward club to consider. If you are a parent, the junior Blast program is the natural entry point. If you simply want to support local sport without playing, a social membership is the low-commitment option.
Next step: check registration and membership details at Marcellin Old Collegians Cricket Club, and confirm current season dates, fees and training times directly with the club before committing.
How do I register my child for the Woolworths Cricket Blast program?
Registration for the Woolworths Cricket Blast program at Marcellin Old Collegians Cricket Club is handled through the club's own site, where a news item dated 2 September 2026 announces that the club invites 5–10 year old girls and boys to register for the 2026/27 program. The same announcement sits alongside an "Open for registration!" note on the club homepage, so the club's news and registration pages are the places to look for the sign-up form.

What to expect from the program
Cricket Blast is Cricket Australia's entry-level program for primary-school-aged children, and the club's post confirms the relevant age range here is 5–10. Sessions are usually short, game-based and modified so that beginners need no prior experience or equipment beyond comfortable clothes; the club supplies the soft balls, plastic bats and stumps. If your child has never played before, this is the lowest-pressure way in, and it also suits families who cannot commit to a full junior season of training and weekend matches.
A practical next step
Contact the club before registering if you are unsure which age group fits, whether a friend can be placed in the same group, or what the session times and venue are — none of those details appear in the club's announcement. Ask specifically:
- Which night or morning the sessions run, and for how many weeks
- Whether the program is at the club's home ground or an indoor venue
- What to bring, and whether a club playing shirt is required
- Whether a Cricket Australia ID or junior registration number is needed
Where this fits in the club's wider offering
Marcellin Old Collegians is a community club founded in 1973 and built around the College's traditions, with senior teams including the 2nd XI that won the D Turf premiership. Juniors who enjoy Blast often move into the club's junior and then senior grades, so registering is also a low-commitment way to see whether your family likes the club's culture. For adults who want to support without playing, the club lists social memberships from $50, with tiers such as Golden Eagle, Silver Eagle and Junior Eagle.

As a general rule, register early: Blast groups are capped by the number of volunteer coaches, and places in the most convenient time slot fill first.
What do the different social membership tiers include and which one should I choose?
The club lists three social membership tiers, all aimed at non-playing supporters who want to back the club for a season. The main differences are price and how much match-night hospitality and merchandise you receive.
| Tier | Price | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| Golden Eagle | $150 | Social membership, dinner and a drink at all selection night dinners, MOCCC playing hat, Trivia Night ticket, Reverse Raffle ticket, email updates |
| Silver Eagle | $75 | Social membership, MOCCC playing hat, Trivia Night ticket, email updates |
| Junior Eagle | $50 | A piece of merchandise, soft drink at all home games, birthday social post |
Which one fits you
- Choose Golden Eagle if you attend selection nights regularly and want the dinners and drinks covered, plus the social events (Trivia Night, Reverse Raffle). It bundles the most into one payment, so it suits someone who is at the club most weeks.
- Choose Silver Eagle if you want to support the club and get the hat and Trivia Night entry, but you won't be around for the weekly dinners. It's the middle option for occasional attendees.
- Choose Junior Eagle if the membership is for a child or a young supporter rather than an adult. It's built around merchandise, a soft drink at home games and a birthday post, not around adult social events.
A practical way to decide: add up the events you'd actually attend. If you'd go to most selection night dinners plus Trivia Night, Golden Eagle is likely better value than paying for those separately. If you'd only turn up to a couple of games, Silver Eagle covers the basics without paying for meals you won't eat.
Next step: check the club's membership or store page for the current season's sign-up and any registration deadlines, since tiers and inclusions can change year to year. If you're unsure whether a tier suits a junior or an adult, ask the club directly before paying.
How do I join the club as a player for the upcoming season?
For the upcoming season, player registration at Marcellin Old Collegians Cricket Club runs through the club's own site. The club has posted that registration is open, and its junior pathway — the 2026/27 Woolworths Cricket Blast for 5–10 year old girls and boys — is listed there too. Senior and junior players, plus parents registering a child, all start in the same place: the club website.
What to do
- Go to Marcellin Old Collegians Cricket Club and look for the registration or "Subscribe" entry point.
- Choose the program that matches you: Cricket Blast for 5–10 year olds, or the relevant senior/junior grade if you are older.
- Complete the form and note any fees or documents the club asks for.
- If you are unsure which grade fits, contact the club before registering — the site names Cameron Vos as Head Coach for 2026/27, and the club runs pre-season sessions, so a quick query will point you to the right team.
If you are not playing
Non-playing supporters can join as social members. The club lists three tiers: Golden Eagle at $150, Silver Eagle at $75 and Junior Eagle at $50, with benefits such as selection-night dinners, a playing hat, trivia night entry and merchandise. That is a separate path from player registration.
A practical check before you commit
Ask the club two things: what the season's fees and training schedule look like, and whether your age group has space. Pre-season dates are published on the site, so use them as your deadline — registering before pre-season starts means you get a proper run at selection rather than joining mid-season.
What is the pre-season schedule and when does training start?
The pre-season schedule isn't shown on the page itself — the "Pre-Season Schedule" area is listed as a block with no content yet, so no dates or training start times are published there. What the page does confirm is that the club is already advertising registration for its 2026/27 Woolworths Cricket Blast program for 5–10 year old girls and boys, and that Cameron Vos has been appointed Head Coach for 2026/27. Both items are dated 2 September 2026 and 19 July 2026 respectively, which tells you the season's planning is underway even though training times aren't posted.
What this means in practice
If you're a parent or a player trying to plan around training, you can't rely on the website yet. The page's own structure suggests the club intends to publish pre-season details there, so the schedule is likely to appear in that block rather than as a separate page. The most useful next step is to register or subscribe, since club updates appear to be distributed by email — the social membership tiers (Golden Eagle, Silver Eagle, Junior Eagle) all include email updates.
Who should act now, and how
- Parents of 5–10 year olds: Register for Cricket Blast rather than waiting for training dates; the program is the entry point for juniors and registration is already open.
- Senior and social players: A social membership is a low-commitment way to stay connected and receive the email updates that will carry schedule announcements. Golden Eagle includes dinners, a playing hat, trivia and raffle tickets; Silver Eagle is the lighter version; Junior Eagle is aimed at younger supporters with merchandise and home-game soft drink.
- Anyone needing firm dates: Check back on the pre-season block or contact the club directly, because no training start date is stated.
For broader context on how junior cricket programs are typically structured in Australia, Cricket Australia and PlayHQ are the official places where registrations and fixtures commonly live.
Who is Cameron Vos and what does his appointment as Head Coach mean for the club?
Cameron Vos is the club's newly appointed Head Coach for the 2026/27 season, announced by Marcellin Old Collegians Cricket Club on 19 July 2026. The club describes the appointment as one it is "delighted" to make, though the announcement itself does not set out his coaching background, prior clubs or playing record.
For the club, a named Head Coach signals a structured, appointed coaching role rather than an informal arrangement, and the timing — announced in July, ahead of the season — gives him a pre-season window to work with players. The club's stated ethos of fairness, hard work and "having a go" frames what that role is expected to look after: developing players across the grades and keeping the positive, competitive style the club identifies with.
Who this matters to
- Current and prospective players: a head coach usually shapes pre-season training, selection input and weekly preparation. If you are deciding whether to play, ask what the training schedule looks like and how the coach works with each grade.
- Junior families: the club runs a Woolworths Cricket Blast program for 5–10 year old girls and boys, so a head coach appointment is a signal about the pathway from junior programs into senior teams.
- Social and non-playing members: coaching appointments are part of what membership supports. Social membership starts at $50 for the season, with packages at $75 and $150 that include items such as a club playing hat, selection-night dinners and a trivia night ticket.
A practical next step
If you want specifics — his coaching credentials, which teams he oversees, or how pre-season will run — the club's own news page is the place to watch for a fuller announcement, and the committee or coach is the right contact for direct questions.
