ABOUT JUNIOR CRICKET

Trojans Cricket Club is part of the larger Trojans Club which is based just north of Southampton, just off Stoneham Lane (SO50 9HT). We have around 180 juniors training every week of the summer term, led by volunteer ECB qualified coaches and assisted by parent helpers. For those in our U9 squads upwards, there is the opportunity to test their skills by playing against other local clubs in the Serious Cricket Hampshire Junior Championships.

Any young person wanting to learn or improve their cricket is welcome at Trojans! We start with children in Year R - Year 2 who can join our ECB All Stars programme which runs for 8 weeks in the summer term, starting in May.

Next steps is to join our Junior Cricket provision, which is for U9s (based on birthday at 1 Sep 2023) all the way through to U17s (those in the first year of college). As your child progresses through the programme, they move up from soft ball to hard ball cricket and the bowling becomes faster and their game play more tactical and precise. As they reach 15+ we encourage and support players as they transition to playing on Saturday afternoons in our Senior teams. (With 6 senior teams available, there are plenty of options to allow them to find their level).

At Trojans we believe that everyone should enjoy the sport so we encourage everyone to take an active part in a match - not just fielding. We encourage good sporting attitudes, respect for umpires and other officials and to look after equipment.
