We are delighted to let you know about the Player Development Workshops that we are running during the October Half-Term –  24th – 28th October 2022.

We have scheduled a varied programme of workshops for players that target specific disciplines or themes within the game. Some sessions are to be run specifically for Boys or Girls, and the rest are available for both Boys and Girls. Please see below a timetable of programme events, along with a booking link for each workshop. We ask that you please book carefully, making sure you choose the correct session for your child’s age. The Age Group eligibility table will help you to select the correct session for your child.

The Seamers – a workshop focusing on supporting players who bowl seam, swing or pace. The session will look to develop each seamer’s technical, tactical and physical ability.

The Spinners – a workshop focusing on supporting players who bowl spin. The session will look to develop each spinner’s technical, tactical and physical ability.

The 100 Ball Competition – this session will utilise the indoor space to run two hundred ball games (per session). Players who sign on will be split into two teams, who will compete against each other across the 3 hour session. Rules will be adapted throughout to maximise the player experience.

All of the workshops are specifically designed for Representative, Club or School players who have or currently play hard ball cricket and will be led by the Performance team, alongside other coaches who work across our Pathway or Emerging Player Programmes.

These Workshops will use a hard ball and all players will need the appropriate playing equipment. Each session will be delivered using a 1:4 Coach to Player ratio, or 1:6 Coach to Player ratio, to provide greater player development opportunities.
