Cricket for kids all ages at SMCC (Forest Hill/East Dulwich)

Post by SMCC Colts »

Know someone in school year 1-10 who would like to learn and play cricket? Come and join us! We’re actively seeking more players in all age-groups and kids can join a training session for free to see how they like it.

We’re sure they will. We have well over 100 cricket-mad kids, a mixture of boys and girls, from complete beginners to Surrey District and London Schools players, training and playing matches with us every week. Perhaps your kids will be the next Ben Stokes and Sarah Taylor. Let’s find out!

Our coaching is led by a professional cricket coach who also works in many schools and is experienced coaching youth teams at county level. Our coaching support staff are also ECB accredited and DBS checked. Training sessions are lots of fun and kids learn and use the full range of cricket skills, even in our youngest age-group. It’s amazing to watch them playing full-on pairs cricket!

2016 summer training (mid-April to mid-July):
Mon 18:00-19:30 – School years 1-3 (Under 6 – Under 8s)
Tues 18:00 – 20:00 – School years 7-10 (Under 12 – Under 15s)
Wed 18:00 – 20:00 – School years 4-6 (Under 9 – Under 11s)

We break for May half term - there is no training on 30th & 31st May and 1st June. The season ends shorty before the summer holidays.

Our membership fees (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Mmr ... sp=sharing) are great value and on par with other local cricket clubs, but we also offer our ‘everyone gets a game policy’ – meaning that in age-groups that play matches against other clubs, we aim to ensure every player gets the chance to play at least 3 matches, as long as they can safely and enjoyably do so.

Interested? Email us now at smcccolts@gmail.com and we’ll get back to you normally within a few hours.

Even if the session you want to join is the same evening, that’s usually possible, but please ping us an email by about lunchtime rather than turning up unannounced.

We also run indoor training during autumn/winter, normally from November to March.

We're located between East Dulwich and Forest Hill, near the junction of Lordship Lane and the South Circular near the former Grove Tavern/Harvester, Tile Giant and Bathstore.

Thanks for reading. Hope to see you there.

Hi everyone. Just a quick update to say that we're proud to announce that this weekend we'll be having possibly our first every Under 8s match - a friendly against Old Whitgiftians! Hopefully a few more Under 8s matches in the pipeline too.

And we're particularly keen to recruit a few more Under 12 (year 7) and Under 13 (year 8) players at the moment. New joiners in these age groups are likely to get a lot of matches. :D If interested, ping us on smcccolts@gmail.com
