OUR PROGRAMME

We welcome boys and girls of 6+, with or without previous cricketing experience. In the youngest players, we develop basic cricketing skills and a love of the game. With older players we work on individual programs to develop individual players, focusing on applying skills in real match situations. Our program includes weekly Friday evening and Sunday morning practices, and for older players, competitive matches within the Middlesex league setup.

SUMMER PRACTICES
Summer practices are at our Chiswick ground on Riverside Drive and are on Sundays from 9-12.30pm. They take place from late April till July.

New players have to register before taking part, but we are always happy for new players to have a try-out week before committing to the club.

We have a well-equipped ground with a new three-lane net facility, mobile net cage, and artificial wicket as well as plenty of space for practicing batting, bowling, and fielding. Practices are carefully structured to keep everyone involved and interested. Whites are not required for practice.

JUNIOR MATCHES

Junior matches take place at Under U9, 10, U11, U13, U15, U17 and U19 age groups. These are mainly on weekday evenings at 6 pm, either at our ground or away at the other team's ground. All the older ages group matches start after exams. Selection is by merit and organised by age group managers. Whites are required for matches - U17 and above require Chiswick green match tops for games. Club branded kit (training and match-wear) plus all necessary equipment are available from our online store.
