Welcome to Treptower Knockers Cricket Club!
Treptower Knockers are an international Cricket Club based in
Berlin, Germany. Starting as a fun, safe, socially-distanced way
to play some sport during the early days of the pandemic in
2020, the Knockers quickly grew from five friends playing casual
park cricket every Tuesday evening into a fully-fledged Cricket
Club with ambitions to join the Berlin Cricket League.
During the Summer hours, you will find the Knockers having a
casual knock each Tuesday at Treptower Park. Absolutely anyone
and everyone, from beginners to former pro’s, are encouraged to
join in and try our inclusive brand of park cricket. However,
the Knockers also train every Friday evening with real hard-ball
cherries, pads and helmets.
Should you be interested to join in and try out, be it for a
casual knock or for the real deal, head over to our Contact Page
to get in touch with us!
Those original five park cricketers are also members of our sister
team: Friedrichshain Internazionale Football Club (a.k.a. The
Unicorns). By the time we had grown in size enough to consider
starting a real cricket club, it was clear to us that we should
adopt similar values that make the football club so special, and
we still hold these values today.
This quickly-assembled jpeg of values helped us to ensure that
people who are interested in playing with us understand who we are
and what we aim to become, both as a team and as individuals.
The foundations of the Knockers club are set, and now we aim to
grow the club with some lofty ambitions! In the short-term, we
are aiming to join the Berlin Cricket League, where all games
are played next to the Olympiastadion in West Berlin. As a bunch
of nomadic Berliners from across the globe, travel is important
to us all and so we will always be organising our next
cricketing tour, be it near or far away.
In the long-term, we would like to help grow and promote the
sport of cricket in Berlin. We have ambitions to start a second
team, to promote and encourage women's participation, and
possibly even a youth team.
