We our proud of our history and excited about our future.
That's why our junior section is so important to us. We have over 100 girls and boys across our age groups, from Under 5s all the way up to senior cricket.
Our Junior train on a Friday evening and it is a real buzz. With the barbecue alight and great value refreshments from the licensed bar, Friday evenings are loved by the kids and their parents too. In fact, we get other siblings, relatives and family friends joining us for the great atmosphere!
All of our coaches hold current ECB coaching certificates, DBS checks and First Aid training, ensuring we provide a safe, fun and challenging experience for kids of all ages and abilities.
We focus on a holistic approach to cricket, which offers so much towards overall personal development. Leadership, tactics, sportsmanship, volunteering, officiating and groundsmanship all factor in the coaching, in amongst having lots of fun and releasing lots of energy. There are activity packs which back this up, available here
We have girls and boys who represent Oxfordshire on the County Age Group pathway and we run additional training sessions and fixtures for girls. We also run taster sessions for the local Brownies and Girl Guides to gain interest in cricket and support the local Primary School.
Whatever your children's age or ability, there is a place for your family and we are always looking to welcome new players. If you're interested in finding out more please email admin@watlingtoncc.co.uk
