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.
