Under 11 Cricket Development Course

Saturdays | Two 6-Week Blocks (to be booked separately if wanting to attend both)

Our Under 11 Cricket Development Course is designed to give young players the opportunity to develop their cricket skills in a small-group, supportive and engaging environment.

Running across 12 Saturday sessions, split into two separate 6-week blocks, the course will provide players with a broad range of coaching across all areas of the game, while also developing the movement, coordination and athletic skills that underpin good cricket — and transfer into other sports too.

A Complete Cricket Development Programme

Players will have the opportunity to work across all four key disciplines:

• Batting – Developing technique, shot selection, balance and movement, with dedicated batting drills and opportunities to use bowling machines.
• Bowling – Technical bowling drills focusing on movement patterns, consistency, control and developing an effective bowling action.
• Fielding – Lots of time dedicated to fielding, including ground fielding, catching, throwing and movement towards the ball.
• Wicket-keeping – Where applicable, players will have opportunities to develop their wicket-keeping skills, including stance, movement, catching and receiving the ball.

The small-group format allows coaches to give players plenty of individual attention while ensuring they get lots of opportunities to practise, repeat and apply their skills.

Developing Better Movers

A key part of the course will be developing players as young athletes, not simply as cricketers.

A good proportion of each block will focus on general athletic development, including:

• Speed and acceleration
• Agility and changes of direction
• Balance and coordination
• Footwork and movement
• Reaction
