FRIDAY EVENING COACHING - All paid coaches, coach helpers on Friday evenings will either already have an ECB coaching qualification or need to have attended 2 x 2 hour "coach endorsement" program with Director of Cricket, Jon Stewart.
In this way we can ensure we continue to offer a high level of coaching whilst retaining our lovely Friday evening all inclusive atmosphere.

For high performing players, our Director of Cricket, Jon Stewart will discuss further development opportunities to the relevant parents. This can include, an invitation to a private Monday evening academy and representative cricket.
