All Kids Welcome — From Beginners to County Hopefuls

Got a 5-year-old who’s just discovered cricket? Great. Have a teenager chasing county selection? We handle that too.

Age groups we coach:

• U5’s just starting out

• Primary school players wanting to make the team

• Secondary school cricketers aiming higher

• U16s preparing for county trials

We’ve seen it all. Some kids come to us barely knowing which end of the bat to hold. Others arrive with natural talent but need fine-tuning. It doesn’t matter where they start — we meet them there.

Batting — Getting the Basics Right

Most kids want to smash the ball everywhere. Fair enough. But first, they need to actually hit it consistently.

We focus on:

• Proper stance and grip

• Watching the ball (sounds obvious, but you’d be surprised)

• Shot selection — when to attack, when to defend

• Building confidence against different bowling

• Learning shots that actually work in matches

Bowling — More Than Just Running Up Fast

Every kid thinks bowling fast is everything. Speed helps, but accuracy wins games.

Our bowling development covers:

• Consistent action that won’t cause injury

• Line and length — hitting the right areas

• Simple variations that actually fool batsmen

• Match tactics — when to bowl what

• Building stamina for longer spells

Fielding — The Bit Most Kids Skip

Nobody gets excited about fielding practice. We get it. But brilliant fielding wins tight games.

What we work on:

• Quick reflexes and safe catching

• Throwing accurately under pressure

• Reading the game and positioning

• Communication with teammates

• Making fielding actually enjoyable

Success Stories That Matter
