Junior Cricket

 Focus is on having fun whilst learning the basic elements of cricket

• Catching, throwing, picking up ball on the run, stopping the ball
• Basic batting – less concerned with technicalities of grips and more interested in hitting the ball – let them “find a way” within coach guidance
• Introduction to bowling
• Played with tennis balls.
• To create players who will have the opportunity to transition to adult teams during their teens
• To create players who have a life long love of the game
• To create equal opportunities for girls and boys to enjoy and play cricket
• To allow players to be stretched by playing in higher age groups if their abilities allow this
• Lots of games, variety and focus on ensuring they want to come back the following week!
