A very warm welcome to
our information section for junior members.
Our Colts are very important to the present and future
success of the club and they learn their cricketing skills
in a safe, friendly environment. Juniors are welcome from
age 5 to 17. They begin by playing Kwik Cricket with a soft
ball and may enter Super mini 8’s tournaments (Under 9).
Emphasis is on fun, developing hand eye coordination and
learning cricketing skills.
In 2008 we have entered teams in the Mid Kent Youth League
(2 teams under 11 and under 17) and again 2 teams in the North Kent Junior
League (under 11 and under 16). We also have a mini super
8's team (under 9).
When they are considered
ready, juniors can be selected to play in the adult teams.
In 2008 many of our under 15, 16 and 17 colts are playing
regularly in the 1st X1 and 2nd X1 teams. They are regarded as valued
and talented members of the teams and the product of the
excellent coaching they have received at the club.
Coaching began in 2007 with winter nets at the Leigh City
Technology College and then follows with summer training at
the club in April 2008 (see coaching times). We are really
looking forward to welcoming new juniors to net practices
and training sessions.
If you would like to become a junior colt you can phone
Belinda Bridges the junior co-ordinator (01322-866551) or
