Training at Ashtead Cricket Club
The U5-U8 squads are run in conjunction with Mini Crickets who offer specialised coaching for those ages.
Members may also use the nets at Woodfield Lane for their own practice, when they are not in use for formal training sessions or Senior pre-match warmups. Please note the Nets Rules, displayed onsite, in particular that the access code must NOT be passed to any non-members and the nets must be securely locked after use. Failure to comply may result in the privilege of nets use being withdrawn. Please ensure you put any rubbish in the bins provided as you leave the facility.
With one of the largest Junior sections in Surrey and nearly 600 children and teenagers participating in coaching and matches each week, we are 100% committed to seeing Juniors develop during their time at Ashtead.
We employ highly qualified coaches and, this year, the Club is continuing to invest into the coaching programme and has secured dedicated head coaches for each age group. Matt Homes and Tom Deighton will continue to oversee the coaching programme for both the younger and older juniors.
The transition from the Junior to the Senior sides is very important to us, as we want to see young cricketers reach their full potential. We strive to identify young players who are keen to progress into our senior teams, allowing them opportunities through the 5th XI and beyond at the appropriate time. This will be closely managed by the coaches and captains. Our Club strategy regarding this path from junior to senior is documented within our Player Pathway documents - these, along with other club policies, are available on the ACC website.
We are also pleased to offer 1-2-1 specialist coaching with our team of ECB qualified coaches. More details upon request.
This year, the training season will run from Monday 13 April to Friday 17 July
