Friday Evening Coaching and Parents Social

For all age groups our junior coaching program is run every Friday evening at our Bourton-on-the-Water ground. It runs throughout the summer from April 25th onwards. Organised by a team of dedicated coaches and volunteers, we use the outfield and brand new 3-lane nets to work on fundamental skills in a fun environment. 

Friday evenings are also just as entertaining for the parents! We have an open bar from 5.30pm, with outdoor seating and a BBQ running most nights. We welcome all parents to come along for an enjoyable social evening. 

Additional Coaching & Pathway

We offer additional coaching opportunities and pathway management for talented juniors to play regional/representative cricket and will offer a summer camp in the holidays.

 Girls Cricket

We have a fantastic program for girls at BVCC. In addition to All Stars, girls have the option of playing for any of the mixed U11, U13 or U15 teams (and can play two years below if preferred). 

Additionally, we have a ladies/girls team in the Twenty20 league that plays midweek. 

Girls will practice alongside the boys on Friday evenings.
