The depth and quality of Cricket is improving due to the skill development that takes place at the Cricket Institute. Having the covered net facility allows continuity of that development. Sacred Heart have had a number of Auckland age group representatives in recent years. Much of this success can be attributed to the Cricket Institute programme.
