Our Facilities

This will be the first indoor cricket centre in Scandinavia and is needed to provide facilities all year round for our cricketers and to help support the growth of the game here in Malmo. This facility will also promote the sport to our young people and females players where they can learn the game in a safe, purpose built environment. The centre will provide a space for playing indoor cricket which will appeal to our young people and new people to the game but will also support our existing club crickets through the use of the net facilities and bowling machines. The centre will free up space in other sports centres in Malmo that are currently used in the winter by our clubs and prevent damage to our sports halls, as men’s cricket uses a hard ball. The centre will have all the latest cricket coaching aids as well as facilties to host meetings, enjoy a cup of coffee and buy some cricket items.
