Berkhamsted Cricket Club - Looking To Join BCC?

Interested in joining Berkhamsted Cricket Club?

We are always pleased to welcome new members to the club. Whether you are a player, supporter, coach, scorer, umpire you will be well received by the club. Over the last few years our membership has increased in size significantly and we are always hoping to increase this further.

Anyone can play cricket for us, whether you're a top level player or a total novice. We cater for all standards with five sides on a Saturday, two on a Sunday and eleven colts (junior) sides from Under 9 to Under 15. Children as young as 6 can train at the club on Sunday mornings as well. 
 
Leagues:

1st XI - Herts League, Division One
2nd XI - Herts League, Division Five
3rd XI - Herts League, Division Twelve
4th XI - Herts League, Division Fourteen

Sunday 1st XI - Chess Valley League, Division Five
Sunday 2nd XI Chess Valley League, Division Eight


Our 5th XI plays friendlies and the Sunday sides play friendlies when there are no league games - around half the season. 

We've had several players join the club recently who had never previously played cricket and they have all been given matches and have all significantly improved. If you want to give cricket a try for the first time, Berko is the place for you.

We are proud to be one the ECB's Focus Clubs and our Chairman is currently the Chair of the Dacorum District Development Group, which ensures all the cricket clubs in the District collaborate to promote the game, manage the development pathway to County level and beyond and is overseeing a Chance to Shine Project.

We have been awarded Clubmark status, which means that we adhere to the ECB's highest standards of Club management, Child Welfare and Coaching. We have fourteen ECB-qualified coaches, five of whom are Level 2 and run an extensive coaching program through the winter and summer months.

We operate Cricket Weeks in the first four weeks of the summer holidays, which are always oversubscribed, so get your children's names down fast to secure a place. Contact Julian Dent for more details.

Our clubhouse is undergoing an extensive refurbishment and within a few weeks will be a delightful spot in which to relax and watch sport, share a drink with friends and take in the best setting for cricket in the home counties.
