1st Innings

They can certainly try the 2nd innings session and see how they get on. The classes are much bigger (more like a school class) so they may find it a bit intimidating but they are welcome to try and then can move to 1st Innings if it doesn’t suit them. Trying a different session is subject to avaialbility and session waiting lists but we will always try and find a suitable option for you.

We recognise that every child develops at differnt rates so there is no one answer for everyone, so we recommend that you talk to us (or the Coach if they are already signed up). The aim of Little Wickets is to create a life time of enjoyment of sports, so anything that helps the child feel happy playing sports we encourage. Yes they can stay or start in 1st innings if they are happier and more comfortable in a smaller group. Bear in mind that in the 1st Innings sessions most of the other children will be much younger than your child (some as young as 2 1/2 years old) which may have an impact on your child’s enjoyment of the sessions. Equally sometimes being the eldest/best (the ‘Top Dog’) in a group can be really good for a child’s confidence.

Only you can really know what is best. If you are unsure and want them to try the older larger 2nd Innings groups we are happy to let them have a go for a couple of weeks before you commit to a different session, but this is subject to availability and waiting lists for your requested sessions.

Keep talking to us & the coach … if you or your child feel that they are outgrowing their current group then we will be happy to look at all the alternatives.

Little Wickets coaches are very experienced and always make sure that every child is included and challenged (even if the child just thinks they are having fun!)

After Little Wickets

None of our regular sessions or Holiday activites involve hardball cricket nets or training.

Our weekly sessions are aimed at children aged 2 1/2 – 7 Years old and are all softball cricket based so the 1st & 2nd innings sesisons aren’t for the players that want to play hardball cricket, but our Holiday Camps might be if they are happy only doing softball activities. We often have some older (Year 5 & 6) boys and girls that have come along to our camps and enjoy all the softball cricket & team games.

If hardball cricket holiday camps are what you are after please do still get in touch – we have several partner Cricket Coaching orgnaisations who might just be offering what you are after and we’d be happy to give you their contact details.

Little Wickets Holiday Camps are designed for children of Primary School Age in Reception to Year 6. So once they are in Year 7 at Secondary School then the Little Wickets Holiday Camps are not for them. However, if they have just finished Year 6 and are moving into Year 7 in September they can still come along and enjoy all the fun of the Summer Holiday Camps before they start Secondary School.
