About MAACA
Cricket That Creates Opportunities
The Melbourne All Abilities Cricket Association (MAACA) exists to ensure that people with an intellectual disability have the opportunity to play competitive, structured and meaningful cricket in Victoria.
Established in 2015 with the support of Cricket Victoria, MAACA oversees graded competitions delivered through affiliated clubs across metropolitan Melbourne and growing regional centres. We are a volunteer-led association committed to inclusion, fairness and long-term sustainability.
Our players are cricket fans. They want to train, compete, improve and represent their clubs — just like every other cricketer. MAACA ensures those opportunities exist in a safe, inclusive and professionally managed environment.
