Stokenchurch Cricket Club has a thriving junior section, providing qualified coaching for boys and girls from ages 9 to 17
Coaching is provided by eight 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".
Coaching sessions for all age groups are held on a Thursday evening from 6pm until 8pm from the start of May 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; U12 & 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
In September we hold a Presentation Evening and Dinner for the Senior and Junior members and regularly have 80-90 attendees.
