Burgess Hill Cricket Club Winter Net Session Details Announced

Burgess Hill Cricket Club have announced their winter nets schedule as the club prepare for the 2019 cricketing season beginning this April.

The sessions will once again be held in the Hurst College Sports Hall every Sunday afternoon for the Youth (2pm-5pm) and Sunday evenings for Adults (7.00 pm – 9.00 pm ) Sessions commence on Sunday 3rd February and willl continue up until Sunday 31st March.

The timetable is as follows:

Adult, Ladies, U16s & U15s (this seasons age groups)

Adult nets commence on Sunday evenings between 7.00 pm and 9.00 pm at Hurst College from the 3rd February, continuing up until the 31st March. We have again booked four lanes this year. We anticipate that these will be allocated as lanes 1,2 & 3 for Adult and Youth players and lane 4 for our Ladies as before.

U10s and Younger (this seasons age groups), U11 girls

For those boys who are U10 and younger this coming season, and those girls who are U11, we have again booked the larger Oakmeeds Sports Hall on Tuesday evenings from 6.00 – 7.30 pm for softball practice and coaching. These sessions will be again be run by a Sussex CCC coach and are guaranteed to be great fun. All of our ‘All Stars’ are invited to join these sessions. The sessions commence on Tuesday the 5th Feb and continue every week up to and including the 9th April.  We are again coaching in Burgess Hill primary schools in January and February and will be inviting those children attending their school sessions to come along to these evenings

U11s – U15s (this coming seasons age groups)

For the Sunday afternoon sessions we are proposing the following times and lane net allocations for the boys and girls, based on their age groups for this coming season. These, we believe, use the optimum allocation of time and coaching resources whilst balancing out the numbers of youngsters in each age group. The timetable for youth sessions by age group is below.

Any U10 boys who are considered by their manager and their parents to be competent and safe to play hard ball cricket will be able to attend the U11 sessions from 2.00 – 3.00 pm. Those older girls who already play Ladies cricket can attend the evening Ladies net sessions instead of, or as well as, the afternoon ones. Those U15 boys who have played adult cricket can also attend both the junior and senior sessions.
