Tatachilla is home to an elite practice facility for aspiring cricketers who are seeking to train at the next level.

The facility comprises four netted pitches and provides all students with the opportunity to hone their cricket skills in a safe, contemporary and hard-wearing environment.

The netted pitches were built and installed by PM Sports.

They are available to all Tatachilla students as well as players from the McLaren Districts Cricket Club as part of a community partnership that is designed to help boost participation in Australia’s national sport at the local level.

The partnership also seeks to attract a greater number of girls and women to the game of cricket and ensure that all young cricketers in the McLaren Districts community have the chance to develop their confidence, sporting ability and skills in leadership and teamwork.

In the off-season, the facility’s retractable nets enable the entire expanse of synthetic grass to be used for a range of other outdoor sports at the college.

The college is proud to acknowledge its funding partners at the local, state and national level who have each contributed significantly to the construction of this state-leading facility: the McLaren Districts Cricket Club, the South Australian Cricket Association, the City of Onkaparinga, SA Recreation and Sport and Cricket Australia. 

Tatachilla's cricket hub was officially opened on 24 May 2024 and celebrated by the college with a visit from Nathan McSweeney from the South Australian Redbacks and Kate Peterson from the South Australian Scorpions.
