Holiday Activities - Little Wickets Cricket Classes, Camps & Coaching

Little Wickets’ Holiday Fun

The school holidays always seem to be just around the corner and Little Wickets offer lots of different holiday activities to ensure your sons & daughters active Fun with a crickety twist … including pre-schoolers!

From Tots’ Hot Shots Mornings, introducing 3-5 year olds to Cricket and Tennis fundamentals in a fun and safe environment (indoors) to Monday evening one off sessions for the Big Hitters in Reception to Year 5 who want more game time. Not forgetting the ever poplular Holiday Camps for all primary school-aged Boys & Girls, with softball cricket skills, activities & games for all abilities. In the Summer Holidays these are outdoors at local cricket clubs and every other holiday they are indoors – well except during the Christmas break when we don’t run any activities so our Coaches can also get a well earned break!

Newcomers are Always Welcome
Whether your child is an ‘old hand’ or brand new to Little Wickets we guarantee an emphasis on Teamwork, Positive Sportsmanship and FUN!

We have all the kit needed so all the children need to bring is bags of energy and to wear whatever they are happy to run around in.

All of our camps are based on softball cricket. If your son or daughter has already started their Hardball cricket journey then they’ve graduated beyond Little Wickets. However, we’d be happy to direct you towards other options at local Cricket Clubs.

Take a look and be sure to book early to ensure your budding Jos Buttler or Sophie Ecclestone doesn’t miss out!
