MINI CRICKET - AT COOKHAM DEAN CC.

STARTS FRI 25th April 2025 - Free Taster Session (MUST register before)

RECEPTION - 3.50pm to 4.30pm

YEAR ONE - 4.30pm to 5.10pm

Come and enjoy the lovely atmosphere at Cookham Dean CC on Friday evenings with great fun cricket sessions, bar, BBQ and sweet stand.

Please email for details.

During each session, players will go through a series of 4 or 5 cricket based stations or challenges with an excellent ratio of coaches to players. They will be kept fully engaged at all times, and will be constantly moving, throwing, catching, bowling and batting. Children are kept very well entertained for 40 mins whilst learning the basics of the game. There are always plenty of high 5s, smiles and some prizes too! We hope it gives the children a great first impression of the game!

The first session on Fri 25^th April will be a no obligation taster, and therefore only after that, should your child be happy and confident to continue, will you be asked for any payment. The course will run for 10 weeks from 25^th April but there will be no sessions over the May half term (Unless we lose an evening to bad weather in which case we may need to utilise that Friday). Please note, regardless of whether any sessions have to be called off for rain, we will always provide the course of 10.

The programme also entitles parents to use the clubs facilities and Friday nights in particular are a great social occasion! The bar will be open for parents, with a BBQ for tea and of course the legendary sweet stand that the kids all love too!
