3. Junior Cricket - U10 to U18


Please email us on info@claygatecricket.co.uk if you have any questions or need further information.

Our Junior Section
Junior players are at the heart of the club and our cricket offerings start from 5 years old and upwards for both boys and girls.


All Stars & Dynamos - Ages 5 to 11 years old
We offer the ECB All Stars (aged 5 to 8) and Dynamos (aged 8 to 11) programmes for children who are new to cricket and it’s a fun and enjoyable introduction to the game.
Further details on these programmes can be found via this link.
We recommend that children with prior cricketing experience rather look to join the age group sides instead of Dynamos.


Age Group Cricket - U10+
Age groups sides run from under 10 upwards and the sides play hard and softball formats in the younger age groups.

New Age Group (U10 - U16) members will receive a club shirt and trousers as part of their first year subscription.

U17 & U18 players will parrticipate in adult training and matches if no age group side exists for the year. Subscriptions do not include any club clothing.


Joining the Club
You will need to register yourself and your child/ren on Pitchero, prior to training, by clicking JOIN.
We have a number of Pitchero manuals which will guide you through the steps.

We will check your details and approve your application. We may need to ask for some further information on medical details and emergency contact information if this hasn't been captured upfront during the registration process.

Team managers use Pitchero to request availability and publish team selections.


Kit Requirements
The minimum kit requirements for indoor and outdoor net sessions are an abdominal guard and the correct sports underwear to hold it in place.

For hardball cricket, it is mandatory for players under 18 years of age to wear a helmet when training or playing in matches.
Players should also ideally have a bat, gloves and pads for hardball cricket.
Club kit may be available on prior arrangement with the relevant junior manager.


Coaching & Training
We hold indoor and outdoor nets during the season. Indoor nets run from early January and outdoor nets run on the Rec ground after Easter.
The indoor and outdoor training scheduled can be found here


Junior Subscriptions and New Members
New junior members (U10 to U16 age group sides only) will receive a set of the coloured club kit as part of the first year’s subscription.

Full details on our annual Junior subscriptions can be found here.

The kit is used for friendly and competitive matches and consists of a cap, a shirt and trousers.
