Facilities
Topline Cricket is the original cricket training facility in Melbourne’s outer east. Our premium facilities have been servicing players and clubs for over a decade.
We have nine indoor lanes available for use by you and your mates, all year round. Six feature long run-ups while three are shorter and normally house bowling machines, but these can be removed to allow for maximum training participation. Topline is the home of pre-season, wet weather, and general-purpose club training sessions. Our retractable nets are ideal for group clinics, creating a large space for a variety of activities.
We have other large spaces set aside for putting bags down and padding up, along with an upstairs viewing area – the perfect place to sit and watch your child train.
Behind this viewing area is ‘Not Quite The Long Room’; a classroom-sized space which is perfect for AGMs, presentations, pre-session rev-ups, and any other cricket meetings. ‘Not Quite The Long Room’ is even available for corporate events and group fitness sessions.
