Colts Development Officer
I am
delighted to inform you of the appointment of Ingram Jones, our new
Colts Cricket Development Officer. You may well have seen him at the
Winter Nets on Sundays recently. His role will be to generally
provide a framework of developing colts cricket at WHCC, with direct
involvement with the Under 14 and Under 10 squads. This will also
include contact with local schools to find new talent as well. He
will be available for individual summer coaching. Please contact him
for fees and details: 07813882440.
Wet weather policy
Match days - Contact coach for information concerning play.
Monday/Tuesday evenings - Information will be displayed on the chalk
board at the end of the pavilion. Please check this board before
leaving your child. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CHILD UNATTENDED UNTIL
HIS COACH IS PRESENT. Age Group managers will be advised by 5pm if
the sessions are cancelled and the Group Manager will text his group
members. Please ensure that the Group Manager has a contact number
to which he can text information (an ADULT mobile number).
Unlike winter sports, cricket cannot be safely played in wet
weather. Hopefully we shall enjoy better weather this year!
Health and Safety
The nets can only be used when there is a coach
present to supervise, otherwise they will be locked. However, they
will be open at weekends, to be used , whilst matches are taking
place. NO SPIKES SHOULD BE WORN IN THE NETS.
A cricket helmet MUST be worn when batting or wicket keeping
with a hard ball. ONLY soft balls should be used when coaches are
not present, particularly on practice nights in the outfield. Please
do not leave your child unsupervised before/after nets or matches.
Other protection such as gloves, pads and an abdomen protector (box)
WITH THE CORRECT SUPPORT, should also be worn with a hard ball.
Thigh pads are a further option.
Dress Code
White trousers, white cricket shirt, white sweater (sleeveless)
and white trainers/cricket boots should be worn for nets and
matches. New colts can wear non white gear for the first 2 weeks,
then the above dress code should be adhered to. Cricket gear (ie
gloves, helmets, bats and pads) will be provided for the U8-U11 age
groups, older groups should have their own equipment. ALL colts
should provide their own box.
Parents/colts are reminded that the cricket balls provided in the
nets belong to the club and should be returned to their coach after
practice.
Cricket Camps
The Club will be staging cricket camps during the school
holidays, details to be published when finalised.
