Junior Cricket Winter Training 2026

Yes winter training is back in January at Woodlands Community College, Minstead Avenue, SO18 5FW.

Training is on ALTERNATE Saturdays with each group having 6 sessions. Timings of groups vary so please check carefully. If you are doing RPC training this winter, you are very welcome but please do not feel you need to do Trojans training as well, you might want to rest those shoulders!

U9s (Y2-Y4) Cricket Skills and Fun

15:10-16:10 on Jan 3, 17, 31 Feb 14, 28, Mar 14

Great way for beginners to start and those with some experience to fine tune those skills ready for the summer season.

U11s (Y5-Y7) : Growing skills, building confidence and refining skills

16:20-17:20 on Jan 3, 17, 31 Feb 14, 28, Mar 14

Perfect for those transitioning to hard ball and who have some experience. This group will be focusing on skills involving different batting shots and getting used to playing with kit on. We will mainly be using an incrediball to help develop skills and prefect shots safely but with some hardball drills. For those in Y6 who are already used to a hard ball this is still a really important part of player development and has been shown to be a great way to improve performance, technique and confidence, which transfers to their outdoor game in the summer. For those new to hard ball it will hopefully set the players up for a more confident transition to the hardball game. Suitable for those in Y5&6 but also for those in Y7 who are new to hard ball or who want to build confidence.

U13s (Y7-Y8) : Skills, nets and fitness

17:30-18:50 on Jan 3, 17, 31 Feb 14, 28, Mar 14

Mixture of skills, fitness and nets to fine tune technique and prepare for the summer season.

Hardball Girls (Y6-Y10) : Ladies only please

15:05-16:20 on Jan 10, 24 Feb 7, 21, Mar 7, 21

Open to girls who want to transition to or play hardball cricket. usually from Y6 - Y10. Y11 and over should train with Southern Stars.

Southern Stars (Y10+): Ladies only please

16:20 - 17:35 on Jan 10, 24 Feb 7, 21, Mar 7, 21

Please contact Alan Bamford for details - see contact link below.

U15/U17 (Y9-Y13) : Social, nets and skills

17:35 - 18:55 on Jan 10, 24 Feb 7, 21, Mar 7, 21

Skills and nets with our club and senior team captains. A great way to get ready for the new season as well as show off what you can do for our senior teams. U15/U17s are also welcome to attend winter nets with the seniors if they would prefer, but previous years have shown that a lot of our teens enjoy their own young adult space to train in.
