The idea
Led by ECB-qualified Coaches, Aylsham St Giles Cricket Club shall be providing junior cricket coaching at its home venue, Aylsham Recreation Ground, in three different age groups. The youngest group, typically aged 5 - 8 years, shall participate in the ECB's 'All Stars' programme, now into its fourth season. The next older aged group, typically aged 8 - 11 years, shall participate in the ECB's 'Dynamos' programme, newly launched in 2020. The oldest age group, typically 11- 14, shall develop their cricketing skills in preparation for competitive youth fixtures, for those eligible for our new U-13 8-a-side pairs cricket team, or for progressing into the Sunday Friendly team.. (The Club has a track record of successfully introducing youth players in their early teenage years into the Sunday team, with mentor support and opportunities to shine).
What we'll deliver
- Eight weekly sessions of All-Stars Cricket for 5 - 8 year olds
- Eight weekly sessions of Dynamos Cricket for 8 - 11 year olds
- Eight weekly sessions of Net practice for 11 - 14 year olds
Why it's a great idea
We want to lead the return to collective participation and social interaction in a fun environment for children from the local community in and around Aylsham, to re-discover or to experience for the first time the joy of practicing the skills of and playing cricket.
