Welcome to Junior cricket at Godalming CC in 2022. We will begin with indoor nets on 27th February and follow on with outdoor coaching from 22nd and 23rd April 2022. Please read the below detail carefully for dates and timings for each age group, as well as detail on how to register and book into sessions. U6, U7, U8 and U9 coaching will be on Saturday mornings at 10am and U10s to U15s will be on Friday evenings at the specific times below. Please make sure you follow the process outlined below to ensure you’re booked into the correct session. U16s and U17s will be on either Wednesday or Thursday evenings to align with senior training so please keep an eye out for more information on this in due course. Also, following the success of last year, we’ll be launching Godalming Sparks – a specific Girls’ section for all girls aged 8 to 15 looking to enjoy softball and hardball cricket with an emphasis on socialising and fun or to progress from previous experience into hardball cricket and matches! Our Girls’ section will start from the end of April - please watch out for a separate email launching this programme over the next few weeks.
