JUNIOR CRICKET

At HTCC, we strive to introduce boys and girls to the exciting world of cricket, fostering a deep-rooted passion for the sport that lasts a lifetime. Our mission is to enhance their physical skills and tactical knowledge while encouraging older children to join our senior teams in both competitive and friendly matches. Cricket here is for everyone—no matter their skill level—as long as they share a genuine love for the game.

Summer 2025 INFORMATION!!

Summer training will start on Thursday 24th April for age groups U15 and U16, the other Junior Groups (ages groups U6 to U13) will train on a Friday evening. More details can be found below on timings for each group. This year we have had to accommodate more groups, more children and more coaches, so it’s going to be incredibly busy at the Club on Friday.

These sessions will run up to half term, and then restart afterwards, and then continue until Friday 18th July.

Fixtures will be sent out via Spond when they become available on Play-Cricket (hopefully in the next few days!)

In addition, we have expressed an interest in the an U11 girls, U13 and U15 Sussex Junior Cricket Festival which happens each year in the summer holidays. More details to follow soon.

Information

For our Junior cricketers there is the opportunity to attend training for their age group and from age groups U9-U16 play games in league, see details below. 

SESSIONS​

Practice and coaching evenings run from the end of April until the end of July (some age groups might extend into the summer holidays). Specific dates and times are in the age group section below.  

MATCHES

All of our junior players from U9 upwards have the opportunity to play matches in junior leagues. Some leagues play on weekday evenings and others at weekends. This year we have entered some age groups into the Sussex Junior Cricket Festival in August. The SJCF is a competition where each age group plays 3 or 4 matches during one week of the summer holidays. The matches are longer than those played in the leagues.

COACHES & MANAGERS

We employ a number of ECB qualified coaches who are on hand at Thursday and Friday night sessions to coach the children in the technical aspects of cricket.

All of our age group managers and administrators are volunteers. 

MEMBERSHIP

During the 2024 season we had 150 junior members on our books aged 5-18 years and we are likely to be full again in many age groups this season. If your child(ren) are new to the club you can contact us via email ([email protected]) or use the registration form below to sign up and be put on a waiting list. 

KEEPING IN TOUCH

Once you have become a member you will be added to an age group Spond group which we now use for all club and age group communications. This allows Team Managers to coordinate availability for matches, pick a team and communicate effectively with parents and guardians.
