Six programs covering the complete journey, from a child who has never held a bat to a player
preparing for representative cricket.
Tennis ball cricket
New · $75 · Beginners
The easiest way into cricket. A tennis ball is softer, slower and far less intimidating than a
cricket ball, so a child can learn to bat, bowl and field without protective equipment at all
— and without anyone having to decide first whether this is their sport.
• $75, separate from full club membership
• No jersey set and no equipment included
• Nothing to buy beyond sports shoes and a water bottle
Beginner cricket
Ages 7+ · No experience needed
A friendly introduction to the game. Players learn grip, stance, a safe bowling action, catching and
the basic laws of cricket, using age-appropriate balls and shortened formats so everyone bats and bowls.
• Small-group coaching
• Soft and modified balls to build confidence
• After-school sessions, no experience needed
• Coaches advise on what kit to buy, and when
Player development
All age groups
Structured technical work in batting, bowling, fielding and fitness. Each player works on
individual focus areas alongside team skills, with progress reviewed across the season.
• Individual development focus areas
• Video review of technique
• Progression through CYCC age groups
Specialist coaching clinics
Guest specialists · Optional
Our own coaches are volunteers. For specialist work we occasionally bring in an outside
coach, and the families who take part pay that coach’s fee directly — the club
takes nothing and adds nothing.
Selected squads playing fixtures against regional youth sides. Players experience real match
pressure, team roles, and the responsibility that comes with representing a club.
• Regular season fixtures
• Match reports and scorecards
• Team selection on merit and attendance
Indoor training
1 Nov – 30 Apr · West Chester
Cincinnati winters do not have to stop cricket. Indoor nets keep technique sharp through the
off-season with a focus on repetition, strength and skill under controlled conditions. Sessions run
at evo Sports Performance in West Chester Township.
• Indoor nets and drills
• Strength, agility and conditioning
• Smaller groups, more repetitions
• Weekday evenings and weekend mornings
Camps & clinics
School breaks
Short, intensive coaching camps during school breaks, including guest-coach clinics and
specialist sessions for wicketkeepers, spinners and pace bowlers.
• Multi-day skill camps
• Guest and specialist coaches
• Open to non-members by arrangement
How it fits together
One season, one pathway
Every CYCC member trains weekly, is considered for match selection in their age group, and has a
clear route to the next stage. Programs are designed to complement each other rather than compete
for your family’s weekends.
