For the youngsters, they offer programmes like All Stars for those aged 4 to 8, and Dynamos for girls aged 8 to 11. These sessions are all about fun and interactive ways to learn cricket basics. There are also opportunities for girls and women to play softball cricket.
Boys aged 7 to 19 can join and benefit from quality coaching suited to their age. For men looking for a challenge, there’s competitive cricket available.
John emphasises that the club is more than just cricket; it's about fostering camaraderie and community spirit. Regular news updates and social events help keep everyone connected and engaged.
Safety is a priority, with a public access defibrillator available for emergencies. It’s located outside the pavilion, with easy-to-follow guides available on the club's website.
