Best Indoor Cricket Facilities in the GTA
Indoor Cricket Is Growing in the GTA
Whether you’re a competitive club player looking for net sessions during the off-season or a casual player who wants to practise with friends, the GTA has a growing number of indoor cricket facilities. Here’s a comparison of the best options — from Oakville to Mississauga and beyond.
1. The Long Shot Inc. — Oakville
Best for: Casual players, families, and groups who want cricket + other activities
The Long Shot offers an indoor cricket cage with a bowling machine that’s adjustable for speed and swing. It’s designed for recreational players and practice sessions, not full-pitch matches. What sets it apart from dedicated cricket facilities is the combination — you can book a cricket session and then switch to batting cages, billiards, or ping pong. Plus the kitchen serves fresh halal food.
- Format: Net session with bowling machine
- Rate: $30–35/hr
- Booking: Real-time online at thelongshotinc.ca
- Extras: Batting cages, billiards, ping pong, halal food
- Location: 450 S Service Rd W, Unit 2, Oakville
2. True North Sports — Mississauga
Best for: Dedicated cricket players and teams
True North Sports in Mississauga focuses primarily on cricket and baseball. They offer multiple cricket lanes with bowling machines. It’s a good choice if cricket is your sole focus and you don’t need the lounge/dining atmosphere.
3. Smash Sport — Mississauga
Best for: Multi-sport players
Smash Sport offers cricket alongside several other indoor sports. They operate 24/7, which is useful for players with non-standard schedules. Their booking system uses CourtReserve.
4. Cricket Canada Indoor Training Centre — Various Locations
Best for: Competitive/club players
Several Cricket Canada–affiliated training centres across the GTA offer structured coaching sessions and net bookings. These are more focused on player development than casual recreation.

- Net condition: Well-maintained nets with proper matting protect equipment and joints.
- Booking flexibility: Online booking with real-time availability beats phone-only systems.
