The cost of the programme is £40 and is designed to introduce children to the sport, teaching them new skills, helping them make new friends and have a great time doing so. Every child that registers will receive a backpack full of goodies. Your child’s pack will include:

Raiders Softball Programme
The start of a child’s junior cricket journey is here for 9 and 10 yr old’s and girls only from 8-13. The aim of the plan is for children in the Softball age groups to enjoy participating in cricket through engaging sessions, empathising on fun, whilst learning the core skills of the game, using a range of practices and game-based scenarios to aid self-learning.
Raiders Hardball Programme
Hardball cricket is the ultimate challenge moving from softball. At under 11’s level, the cricket played is hardball. The rules are designed to ensure every player is active during the game and this is reflected within the practices highlighted in our training plans. Therefore, it is imperative that every child is batting, bowling, catching and throwing as much possible, in order to develop the fundamental movements and techniques learned in the developmental softball phase which can be transferred into hard ball cricket.
At under 12/13’s level, the majority of players have had experience of hard ball cricket in the previous season and therefore are experienced with the basics of the game. Our plan specifically targets developing tactical and technical components of the game, to challenge the players to improve further and prepare for the demands of a faster-paced game at under 12/13’s, where players are now stronger and able to bowl, strike and throw quicker. The tactical components of the plan explore all 3 disciplines of the game and include changing the lengths that are bowled, how to bat in situations, playing spin and allowing opportunities for all players to experience captaincy.
For the U14/15/16 our focus is to develop technical and tactical play across all skills within the game, using game-based practices predominately, to implement the fundamental basics learned from under 9’s into situations where players need to apply tactical understanding and execution of skills, whilst retaining technical components.
This is particularly important at U14/15/16 level due to the amount of senior cricket that players are being exposed to, where the demands are intensified. The tactical components of the plan explore all 3 disciplines of the game and include changing the lengths that are bowled, how to bat in varying game situations, playing spin, power hitting and allowing opportunities for all players to experience captaincy. The sessions are also designed to focus on a specific skill in activity 1, which is then tested within a variable practice in activity 2, followed by activity 3, which is game-based, implementing the skills learned within a game-based activity.
