Age Groups

Horsham Cricket Club runs age group teams from U6 – U16 for girls and boys.

Players are required to become members of the junior section of the cricket club and to pay an annual subscription which covers training sessions and is payable at the beginning of the season. Players cannot play in matches unless they have paid their subscription.

Players who were in our U16 age group last year and are now over 16 years of age, will still be considered as junior members until they reach the age of 18 even if they only play in senior teams.

Juniors who wish to play in senior matches should let their age group managers know so that they can liaise with the relevant adult captains

Subscriptions

U6 – U18 – £75 (HDC LAC card holders- £37.50).

Match fees are £5 per game (league, cup and friendlies) for matches in U10’s –U16’s age groups.

Match fees cover the cost of league entries and match balls.

Kit

Players in the U6-U8 Thursday group will be provided with a t-shirt to wear to training as part of their membership.

All players from U9’s – to adult will be required to wear the current training kit to training sessions and the current match shirt in matches.

All kit can be ordered directly from our supplier HERE.

Outdoor training will now start Friday 19th April for our mixed age groups and Monday 22nd April for our girls.

Please do not come along on spec to outdoor training unless we have already asked you to bring your child along – our numbers are currently high in some age groups and we already have children on a waiting list. We are obliged to restrict numbers at training in each group to comply with Health and Safety and Clubmark coaching guidelines. Please email memberships@horshamsportsclub.com if you are unsure.

Mondays                  U9-U17 girls, 6pm-7.30pm. Older girls will also be invited to train with the women’s team on Thursday evenings when matches allow.

Wednesdays            U16 boys with adults, U15’s will also be invited to train with adults if they are likely to play in adult matches.
