Junior Outdoor Coaching and Training Sessions

20 Apr 2017

Starting on Thursday 20th April our fantastic coaches will be coming together to bring you a continuous series of weekly coaching sessions for all young people aged 5 to 15. These will be taking place at the club from 6pm until 7.30pm (weather dependant of course) and will run throughout the season. 

This all ties in with our strong efforts to further promote junior development both within our club and within the game itself with the brand new England Cricket Board (ECB) All Stars cricket, which is a programme to introduce even younger players to the game. This will be launched by the ECB in April and will start running in May. This will also help in our programme of bringing junior players through our own system starting at Under 11 level before progressing through Under 13, Under 15 and Under 18 teams right through into senior cricket! 

We already have established links into local schools Saint Mary's and Benfieldside through cricket taster sessions and we would particularly welcome anyone from the two schools but we are also very keen to welcome new members from throughout the area irrelevant of age, ability, experience or school attended. After the Easter holidays we will be extending our taster sessions into Consett Junior School. 

These sessions are completely free of charge to existing and new members. For any further queries regarding the sessions please contact one of our two lead coaches;
Colin McPherson - 07957832776 or colin.mcpherson@hotmail.co.uk
Stephen Turnbull - 07966240311 or steturnbull@icloud.com

We look forward to welcoming all current and new members along to these sessions and hope that everyone will find the sessions enjoyable and rewarding throughout!
