Fundamentals, fitness, and a lot of match play

Players learn the whole field, not just the bat.

Junior matches are won and lost in the field. Every player rotates through positions so they understand where to stand, when to back up, and why the captain moved them there.

By the time a player joins a league squad, the fielding positions on this diagram should be second nature.

What a session looks like.

Roughly how a coaching session runs, start to finish.

Arrival and warm-up

Attendance is taken, players warm up, and coaches set out what the session is working on that day.

Skills block

Small groups rotate through batting, bowling, and fielding stations, with coaches correcting technique as they go.

Match situation

The session finishes in a game scenario so the day's skill has to hold up under real pressure.

Written up

Coaches record attendance and feedback for each player, ready for parents to read in the portal.

Before you book.

Which programme should my child start with?

Almost everyone starts with coaching. Once a player is comfortable in match situations, a coach will suggest moving into a league squad.

Can my child join part way through a season?

Get in touch and we will tell you what is currently open at your nearest location.

What should they bring to a first session?

Comfortable sportswear, trainers, and a water bottle are enough to start. We will confirm anything else when you book.

Do you run girls' squads?

Contact us and we will tell you what is running.

Not sure which one fits?

Tell us your child's age and how much cricket they have played, and we will point you at the right squad.
