Cricket Australia is pleased to announce Casey Stadium (Victoria) as the winner of the 2025–26 Indoor Facility of the Year Award, recognising its long‑standing contribution to cricket participation, facility excellence and inclusive community engagement.
Award Winner: Casey Stadium (VIC)
Casey Stadium has been a central hub for cricket across the City of Casey for many years, delivering opportunities that span national, state and community‑level cricket. The award recognises not only the quality of the venue, but the sustained commitment of the stadium to providing accessible, welcoming and high‑quality cricket experiences for participants of all ages and abilities.
At the heart of Casey Stadium’s success is its elite indoor cricket infrastructure. The venue features high‑quality indoor nets that can be efficiently converted into full indoor cricket courts, allowing it to cater for a wide range of programs and competitions. This flexibility, combined with a simple and accessible booking process, ensures clubs, schools and individuals can easily access the facility when needed.
The experience is further enhanced by friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating staff, who consistently work to support user groups and tailor solutions to meet varied needs. This customer‑first approach has made Casey Stadium a trusted and highly regarded venue within the Victorian cricket community.
Community engagement sits at the core of the stadium’s operations. Casey Stadium maintains strong connections with local cricket clubs and schools, offering lane bookings for club training, hosting school indoor competitions and facilitating a Woolworths Cricket Blast program to introduce the game to the youngest participants. In recent seasons, the venue has also launched a community indoor cricket competition, further expanding playing opportunities and strengthening its role as a community cricket hub.
Beyond participation, the facility supports cricket development through the hosting of numerous coaching courses, contributing directly to improved coaching capability and knowledge across the region. Its commitment to inclusion is demonstrated through support for an all‑abilities cricket program, as well as collaboration with Cricket Victoria to promote the venue to all‑ability schools and community groups for social cricket opportunities.
Collectively, these initiatives highlight why Casey Stadium continues to lead the way in delivering meaningful, inclusive and high‑quality indoor cricket experiences for the community.
