Under 13's Development Programme 

Our 12-week Under 13s Development Course is designed to help young cricketers develop their skills, confidence, athleticism and understanding of the game in a fun, challenging and supportive environment.

Taking place every Saturday 12:30-2:30pm at the The Cricket Barn, near Doncaster (DN11 8NB), the course will provide a comprehensive programme covering all areas of cricket, alongside a strong focus on fitness and fundamental movement skills.

What will the course include?

🏏 All-round cricket development
Players will work across all disciplines of the game, including batting, bowling and fielding, with drills designed to develop both technical ability and game awareness.

⚡ Bowling machines
Players will use bowling machines to develop batting technique, reaction speed, shot selection and the ability to respond to different types and speeds of delivery.

🔥 Net Battles
Competitive net sessions will challenge players to put their skills into practice in a more realistic game environment, encouraging decision-making, competitiveness and problem-solving.

💪 Fitness & Athletic Development
A significant part of the programme will focus on fitness, coordination, agility, speed, balance and movement. Players will develop fundamental movement skills that are transferable to cricket and a wide range of other sports.

🎯 Game-Based Challenges
Sessions will include competitive games and challenges designed to encourage players to think, compete and apply their skills under pressure.

Developing More Than Just Cricketers

At this age, developing a strong foundation of movement and athletic ability is just as important as developing cricket-specific skills.

The course therefore places a strong emphasis on running mechanics, agility, coordination, balance, acceleration, deceleration and change of direction. These fundamental skills can benefit young athletes across multiple sports while helping players become stronger, more confident and better movers on the cricket field.

Who is the course for?

The programme is aimed at Under 13 players with a minimum of two years hard ball experience looking to develop their cricket and athletic ability.

Places are strictly limited to ensure good player-to-coach ratios and once sold out there will not be a chance to enrol.
