Junior Coaching

Wooburn Narkovians welcomes young players of all ages from reception through to Y12 (U17). We aim to provide quality coaching in a safe, stimulating and fun environment where young players of all abilities can develop.


For those in school years reception to Y3 (Y5 for girls) we have a Mini cricket section which runs on Friday nights and for children in Y3 and older we do coaching on Sunday morning.

If your child is interested in cricket, get in touch with us via email at juniorcricket@wncc.co.uk.

Mini Cricket Fridays are perfect way for young cricketers to burn off energy, build skills, and have a blast! Designed especially for boys in Rec–Yr3 and girls up to Yr5, our sessions focus on the FUNdamentals of cricket – because learning is best when it’s full of laughs!

From throwing, catching, and hitting to running, bowling, and tons of mini-games, there’s never a dull moment. As the season rolls on, we’ll gradually shift from fun drills into exciting mini matches, helping kids connect the dots between the skills they learn and the game they love.

Whether your child is new to cricket or already a fan, this is a fantastic first step into the world of cricket – and a great way to make new friends (for both kids and parents)!

Coaching for age groups U8 to U15 begins on Sunday 20th April at Wooburn Park, running all the way through to the end of the season awards and barbeque in early September.

These are run by the club’s ECB qualified coaches and are from 10.00am to 12 noon and are split by age group/ability.

The sessions are a mix of softball, hardball transition and hardball groups depending on age and ability.

Frequently Asked Questions

When attending coaching sessions, young players should bring a hat or cap and sun cream as required. In terms of clothing youngsters should wear a suitable sports shirt, white trousers or tracksuit bottoms, trainers or cricket boots. For those players likely to bat against a hard ball, briefs must be worn, not boxer shorts. Protective cricket ‘abdominal protectors (boxes)’ are required for batting.

 

All other cricket kit, such as pads, bats, gloves, helmets etc will be provided by the club if not already purchased by the player for their own use. It is recommended that players purchase their own box, although the club will have some available for use.

 

For the older juniors (Y11, 12 & 13) we plan to run coaching sessions on a weekday evening or in conjunction with senior training.

All equipment for Mini Cricketers on Fridays is provided by the club. All you need to bring is a sense of fun and enthusiasm!

As stipulated by the ECB, all young players under the age of 18 have to wear a helmet when batting or keeping wicket when standing up to the stumps. There can be no exceptions.

On Friday evenings and Sunday mornings our bar / cafe will be open for drinks.

With the help of volunteers we often have a BBQ on Friday nights or Bacon Sandwiches on Sunday morning. 
Join the WhatsApp community for your coaching group to find out what is on each week.

If you would like to help run the bar/cafe/BBQ please let us know!

Yes, but please put your child’s name on any personal items of kit, i.e. jumper, bat, pads, gloves, box, water bottles etc, in order that the owner of any ‘lost property’ can be easily identified. All club kit will have ‘WNCC’ written on it somewhere in ink.
