How a youth session is organised
Every youth session has a clear structure: a warm-up, skills practice in small groups, a game and a short cool-down. Groups are kept to a size that the leaders can supervise, and activities are matched to the age and experience of the players.
Parents are always welcome to stay and watch.
Protective equipment and the right ball
Beginners and younger children train with softer balls. When players move on to the hard cricket ball, helmets, pads and gloves are worn when batting and keeping wicket.
The club has equipment that beginners can borrow, so safety never depends on whether a family has bought its own kit.
Safeguarding and communication
Our Youth Lead on the board oversees the youth program and safeguarding. At registration we collect emergency contacts and any medical information parents want us to know.
If something worries you, as a parent or as a player, you can always contact the club. We will listen and act.
