Our Club
The West Perth Cricket Club was a foundation member of the Western Australian Cricket Association (WACA), established in
1889. In 1984 the West Perth Cricket Club transferred to the Willetton area and became the Willetton District Cricket Club, part of the Willetton Sports Club.
Willetton District Cricket Club’s aim is to promote cricket within the community, from junior levels through to seniors, providing the opportunity to play cricket at the highest
level available in Western Australia, within the team environment and the traditions of cricket. Our club coach, Aaron Harwood, was named A Grade
coach of the year 2005- 06 and is currently studying for level 3 status, which will put him in the top echelon of coaches in
Australia; he is also a former player at the club.
Our Board consists of successful businessmen and ex-players, keen to see the club continue its development of local
talent, through the junior ranks and into Senior and State cricket.
