We are delighted to let you know about the Player Development Workshops that we are running during the first week of the Easter holidays, Monday 3rd April – Thursday 6th April. 

We have scheduled a varied programme of workshops that targets a blend of specific discipline, a game theme and the opportunity for indoor match-play. Every session is 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.

Workshop Programme

Below is the programme of events, including booking links for each session. For further information on each session, please see a description of each below the programme of events.

The Batters – a batting only workshop, which will cover various themes within batting including; playing swing bowling, scoring off the back foot and facing spin.

1 to 1’s – we are delighted to be able to offer some 1 to 1 coaching opportunities. Each session will be tailored specifically to the needs of the player, offering individualised access to one of our Pathway Coaches. 

T20 Skills Camp – a varied session exploring the batting, bowling and fielding skills associated with shorter format cricket. Sessions offer opportunities to practise specific skills, as well as compete against your peers.

Test Match Skills Camp – a varied session exploring the batting, bowling and fielding skills associated with the longer form of the game. Sessions offer opportunities to practise specific skills, as well as compete against your peers.

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. Sessions will be led by the Performance team, alongside other coaches who work across our Pathway or Emerging Player Programmes.

Player Development Workshops will use a hard ball and all players will need the appropriate playing equipment. Each session will be delivered using favourable Coach:Player ratios (varies depending on booking), to maintain quality provision and provide players with the support they need.

Age Group Eligibility

Players MUST be born within the age group category – please check the session’s age groups carefully before booking.
