We are delighted to let you know about our Player Development Workshops that Oxfordshire Cricket are running during the Christmas break, Thursday 21st December and Friday 22nd December.
We have scheduled a varied programme of workshops that targets a blend of specific discipline, a game theme, the opportunity for indoor match-play as well as 1-1 sessions. 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.
Our Player Development Workshops do not form part of our annual pathway programme, and are an offering for those who wish to access additional activity during time-points where there’s a School Holiday/Half-Term.

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. The T20 Skills Camp will be held over 2 days in October, and 1 full 6.5 hour day in December..
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.
