Friday = Funday
“Our child hadn’t played cricket before but she was made to feel part of the team as soon as the first session started. Now she can’t wait for Friday nights!”
Sandford St Martin CC has a thriving junior section. In 2022 we provided cricket for over 100 juniors aged between 5 and 15. We aim to be a welcoming club providing cricket for all abilities to all genders.
This coming season we are running junior cricket on Friday evenings between the 5th of May and 14th July. We are running two different sessions each Friday, and these can be seen below:
Our lead coaches are all ECB qualified.
At Sandford we believe all cricket should be fun, and this forms the base of all our sessions.
Our soft-ball cricket provides a space for all abilities, whether you have never picked a cricket bat up before or have been playing for a few years. We focus on developing those skills in a fun, engaging way.
Our hard-ball cricket remains focused on fun, but provides a space for more technical coaching for those who want this and are suitably experienced.
All our hardball teams are entered in Oxfordshire leagues, and people will be updated when these dates are announced.
With a variety of hardball teams, we hope everybody who wants to, will be given the opportunity to take part.

We request that all parents complete an online membership form and pay the membership fee prior to the start of the season.

Please ensure that your child has dressed appropriately for exercise (trainers, a water bottle and a warm top for after-practice). If sunny, we advise that your child wears a cap and sunscreen, and when the weather gets hotter that they are adequately prepared.
Medication
When registering, please inform the club if your child suffers from any serious medical conditions or allergies/reactions.

Performance Pathway
Please let one of our coaches know if you would like us to nominate your child for the County Development Squads that are run by the Oxfordshire Cricket Board. The philosophy behind the Performance Pathway is to make the link between Club and County Cricket stronger and more consistent.
