Youth training will take place at the Cricket Club during the summer months, usually starting after the children return to School following the Easter School Holidays. All training sessions are open to both boys and girls, with the exception of the Dynamos cricket which is an exclusive girls offering.
All youth members are encouraged to attend the Friday club night where cricket will be organised for all age groups. Some age groups may have additional training nights allocated, details on this will be posted below if applicable.
Participants will be required to join the club as a youth member, details of which are available under the membership section of the website.

These sessions are also ideal for players new to cricket and wanting an introduction before moving on to hardball cricket
