Summer Coaching Arrangements for 2021
- We hope to be able to run a full winter and summer coaching programme in 2021 however this will be wholly dependent on advice from the government and the ECB in respect of restrictions related to the COVID pandemic. The summer programme normally starts in late April/ early May and runs through to the end of August and is outdoor at the club.
Following the announcement about the 4 stage process to emerge from lockdown we will be discussing training times for all groups soon and will then email everyone with details.
- Membership fees must be paid in full prior to the start of the season.
- Private coaching should be discussed with our Head Coach James Bell
- Any children in School Years 1 & 2 can enroll in our All Stars Group which runs on saturday mornings for 8 weeks between May and early July.
2021 Junior Fees
2021 fees can be found under Membership Subs.
Fees can be paid by bank transfer to Berkhamsted Cricket Club, Account number 20878561, Sort code 20-39-07. Make sure you indicate the name of the player whose subs are being paid in the Reference box and email Mark at rmlewarne@gmail.com to let him know you have paid.
Coaching fees also include all junior match fees. Juniors playing for adult teams pay a match fee to cover the cost of teas.
Cricket Weeks
Our Cricket Weeks in the
holidays are also subject to a separate charge. We normally run a 4 day course at Easter, and 2 or 3 cricket weeks in the summer holidays. Priority for
bookings will be given to paid-up Colts and Cricket Club members until
the end of April. After that, the Cricket Weeks will be advertised
outside the club.
Match Selection Policy 2021
We enter boys and girls teams into the Herts Junior League. Whilst our policy is to provide games for as
many children as possible we also try to promote excellence and competitive
play. So where possible we have an A and B team, with the A team
being selected on ability and the B team being an opportunity
for inexperienced or improving players to develop their skills. As players develop over time
we constantly re-assess ability levels to ensure the teams have the
right balance. Each team is organised by a VOLUNTEER parent (or
parents) who is responsible for picking the team and over-seeing the
game on the day. There is no limit on the number of teams we can enter
but without the support of parents these games simply cannot take
place.
