Junior teams

We run structured teams for our under 9s, 11s and 13s.

Under 9s

The Under 9s squad is the first introduction to competitive soft ball cricket. Sessions are fast-paced, fun, and designed to help make new friends.

Under 11s

The Under 11s team builds on the basics and introduces hard ball cricket in a supportive environment focused on developing skills and teamwork.

Under 13s

In the 2025 season we have re-introduced an Under 13s team at hard ball level. This builds on what is learnt in Under 11s and prepares players for senior cricket.


When training and working on the team's skills, we often split them into different groups in order to best tailor sessions to their needs, and we have multiple coaches during these sessions to ensure everyone gets the attention they need.

Training sessions

Our programmes keep juniors active across both the winter and summer seasons with clear focus on skill, fitness, and enjoyment.

Now running Sundays 11-12

Junior winter training

Winter sessions keep players active and engaged during the off-season with a mix of skill work, fitness, and fun drills.
