Stokenchurch Cricket Club has a thriving junior section, providing qualified coaching for boys and girls from ages 5 to 17
Coaching is provided by ten ECB qualified and DBS (CRB) checked coaches and members of the ECB Coaches Association
We pride ourselves on being a child friendly club and are currently in the process of gaining the Clubmark certification.
It may sometime seem like we ask for lots of information and paperwork but this is all part of the Clubmark process and conforming with the ECB child guidelines contained in the document "SafeHands".
For 2023 we are participating in the ECB All Stars program for 4-8 year olds on a Tuesday night from 5.30pm to 6.30pm. You can sign up for this here:
Coaching sessions for 9 years and older are held on a Thursday evening from 5.30pm until 8pm from the end of April until the middle of August the bar is always open during coaching and you are welcome to stay and have a drink or leave and collect your children when we have finished. We have a Club Safeguarding Officer and qualified First Aiders are always present at coaching sessions
For the younger players the emphasis is on fun and we play with a soft ball, boys and girls are equally welcome. The older players progress to hard ball cricket and soon find themselves in matches
All equipment is provided and we just ask that players come suitably attired
In 2007, with generous help from the Parish Council we purchased a bowling machine and this is used together with our all weather and mobile pitch net to provide some dedicated coaching for the older age groups
This summer, as in previous years we have entered 2 teams in the county age group competitions; U11 & U14 - In 2007 the U17's were County Champions
We try to keep all parents informed and all the newsletters, normally handed out at the Thursday coaching sessions will be available to download from here, as well as registration forms
For Training and Playing clothing please use the link to the club shop below. This year for the first time the juniors will be playing their matches in coloured clothing, through the generous sponsorship of BFC Tibbets
