Mini Cricketers train every Sunday morning at our main ground, New Road. Training is for 2hrs and delivered by our professional coaches. All training is part of the mini club membership.
For the 2021 Season. – the season starts on 18th April 2021 – training is every Sunday – 8:30am until 10:30am for 15 weeks
Internal match play starts at an Under 6 age group. For the Under 7s, midway through the season, we start to play teams against other clubs.
Coaching Aims
Our aims for the age group at Esher Cricket Club is to produce a 15 week coaching programme so that each young cricketers learns how to play the game, in a safe and enjoyable environment.
All cricket at U5-U7 is soft ball, therefore, no need for any protective equipment. The club can supply everything but we do recommend young cricketers have their own bats, good for practicing at home.
During the programme young cricketers will learn, batting basics, the main batting shots, different styles of bowling, the various fielding techniques and match awareness during our internal mini match sessions.
So that the young cricketers can gain the most from each session, we keep our coach: cricketer ratios as low as possible, normally 1:8
All our coaches are fully ECB qualified with up to date child safety requirements and all have gained first aid certificates.
Learning the correct cricket techniques from an early age really helps, when the cricketer gets older and starts to play matches in the Surrey Leagues, against other clubs at U7 and U8.
