Know someone in school year 1-10 who would like to learn and play cricket? Come and join us! We’re actively seeking more players in all age-groups and kids can join a training session for free to see how they like it.
We’re sure they will. We have well over 100 cricket-mad kids, a mixture of boys and girls, from complete beginners to Surrey District and London Schools players, training and playing matches with us every week. Perhaps your kids will be the next Ben Stokes or Sarah Taylor. Let’s find out!
Our coaching is led by a professional cricket coach who also works in many schools and is experienced coaching youth teams at county level. Our coaching support staff are also ECB accredited and DBS checked. Training sessions are lots of fun and kids learn and use the full range of cricket skills, even in our youngest age-group. It’s amazing to watch them playing full-on pairs cricket!

2016 summer training (mid-April to mid-July):
Mon 18:00-19:30 – School years 1-3 (Under 6 – Under 8)

Our fees (see https://www.smccjuniors.co.uk/register-book-pay/costs) are great value and on par with other local cricket clubs, but we also offer our ‘everyone gets a game policy’ – meaning that in age-groups that play matches against other clubs, we aim to ensure every player gets the chance to play at least 3 matches, as long as they can safely and enjoyably do so.
Please note that we not a business - we are a non-profit sports club. We have a very small number of paid staff such as our lead coaches who are professionals, but the the rest of us are volunteers and the money simply keeps the club running.
Interested? Email us now at smcccolts@gmail.com and we’ll get back to you normally within a few hours.
Even if the session you want to join is the same evening, that’s usually possible. We’d love to see you there.
We also run indoor training during autumn/winter, normally from November to March.
We’re located between East Dulwich and Forest Hill, near the junction of Lordship Lane and the South Circular near the former Grove Tavern/Harvester, Tile Giant and Bathstore.
