Our priorities for all aspects of youth cricket, including coaching, youth matches and adult matches involving youngsters, centre on the safety and welfare of the individual.
We therefore aim to:
- Enable youngsters to enjoy the game.
- Coach and encouraging younger players to help them develop their cricketing skills.
- Help children to establish self-confidence, both on and off the field, and develop enthusiasm for the game of cricket.
- Encourage the older players to broaden their horizons by qualifying first as Coaching Young Leaders and then as coaches
We offer cricket training to children from the age of 7 (school year 2) to 16. From the age of 15 training can be with the senior members in addition.
We train outside from the end of April to the middle of August, and we run an indoor winter programme from October to March (subject to interest).
We enter teams from under 9’s into the West Essex District Cricket Board (WEDCB) league. The teams are selected on a rotational basis, depending upon availability, ensuring that, as many colts as possible experience regular competitive cricket.
At High Roding we try to ensure we are playing friendly cricket as early as possible so that our Colts can experience game situations and develop their knowledge of Cricket. We have developed strong relationships with a few local sides that allow us to hold friendly fixtures at U8 level.
The U9 & U10 Cricket played at High Roding has always been based on the terrier format of the game, allowing all Colts to participate and develop their individual ability and team working ethic.
