This is relevant for children in school year 6
This the first year in the history of the club that we are running an under 11 age group. The team will play matches during the week in the Newbery League and some players may be selected to play for the Under 12’s on a Saturday morning. Some players may also wish to play for the Under 10’s on a Saturday morning to help the Under10’s. The format of the Under 11 games will be Pairs cricket using a hard ball. The Under11’s will train alongside the Under 12’s on a Friday evening.
Pre-season nets for Under 10 – under 14’s at The Weald school in Billingshurst : Sunday 2,9,16 & 23rd March and 6 & 13 April from 2:15pm to 3:45pm
SEASON START – The Friday evening cricket sessions will start on the 25th April 2025 and run through to the end of July. We often arrange additional sessions throughout August too. The sessions start at 7:15 pm and run through to around 8.15-8.30 pm
REGISTRATIONS – For those who have not registered before please click here to go to the Wisborough Green Sports MyClubhouse website to register. Registration costs £60 for the year which runs from 1 April – 31 March next year. Once you have registered you and your family are able to benefit from member rates at the bar.
Existing members should have received an email from Myclubhouse to invite you to subscribe for the new season. If you did not receive the renewal email please email us at wisboroughgreenccjuniors@gmail.com
COMMUNICATION – A Whatapp group will be created to share fixtures, team selection, and notify of any changes to times or if we have to call off a session due to rain.
EQUIPMENT – The Club has some pads, helmets, gloves and a few bats which will be available at training and also at matches. We suggest buying a box and ‘cricket briefs’ as this is a requirement before batting against a hard ball, even in the nets.
PARENTAL HELP – There is one qualified volunteer coach in this age group and we welcome any parent helpers on Friday evenings. For the matches we also need a scorer and umpire, any parental experience with this would be most gratefully received. If your child signs up to this age group this also includes family membership to Wisborough Green Sports Association which enables you to purchase drinks at the bar at a discounted price.
ABOVE ALL – We aim to provide fun sessions that develop a child’s core cricketing skills and give them a love of cricket, for the volunteer coaches that run these sessions this is where it all started for us.
MATCHES – During the season there are league matches and we field a competitive X With safety in mind, we will only put a child forward for one of these matches if we feel confident of their ability in a hard ball game. Several friendlies and interclub games will also be organised throughout the season with the aim of giving everyone who is keen to play some match practice.
Coaching arrangements – Peter Klein, Mark Brown and Adam Roberts will be coaching the team and Chloe Boxall will be the team administrator and co-ordinator.
