We will provide all the kit that is needed for the sessions that we will be running. For cricket, if anyone wishes to bring their own kit, then that is absolutely fine. Older children who wish to play ‘hard ball’ cricket may want to bring their own kit along with them although, if they do not have any, this can also be provided. Trainers are good footwear for summer camps while football boots are recommended for the winter. Please make sure that sun cream and a hat are worn during the summer. Children will also need to bring a packed lunch and a water bottle.

Absolutely, so long as we have your permission. We will generally be using a soft ball with the youngsters and, where permission is given, a hard ball with the older children. However, if someone in the younger group has experience with a hard ball and would like to join in with the older boys, this will be permitted on a case-by-case basis. If you are ok with your child using a hard ball, please tick the relevant box on the consent form (you can go back in at any time and change this). Naturally, protective gear must be worn by batters and wicket keepers during hard ball sessions.

We will carry on with our sports in the rain: please ensure that your child brings a waterproof in case this happens. The only sessions that will have to stop are hard ball cricket practices; in this case, we will carry on with an ‘incrediball’ where possible. Winter camps will carry on in the rain, so please pack a coat.

No, children can wear whatever they like to the camps. We recommend t-shirts, shorts, and trainers for the summer – along with a jumper and waterproof coat, just in case! There is a high likelihood that there will be muddy in the winter, so please send them along wearing something that can be easily washed.

Yes, absolutely. You can book a place with confidence. If, for any reason, a camp has to be cancelled, you will receive a full refund. The same applies for camps cancelled due to poor weather – in this case, a refund will be given for the specific days cancelled.

Yes, please. Due to strict regulations surrounding the provision of food, we are unable to provide lunch. Please send your child with a packed lunch, a snack, and a water bottle.

Yes, all of our venues are well set-up to cater for youth sports. Boys’ and girls’ toilets will be available and, particularly while Covid-19 restrictions are in place, hand sanitising stations will be dotted around the pitches.

All of our coaches have many years of experience with working with children. They are all DBS checked, and are either teachers during term time or work with young athletes in other contexts. However, we still take safeguarding issues very seriously: we have ‘prevention’ plans in place, and routes mapped out in terms of good practice and the safe running of our camps. If you would like more information, please get in touch.

The best form of first aid is prevention: our sessions are set up with both enjoyment and safety in mind and steps are taken to ensure that children of all ages and abilities are looked out for. Even so, accidents can happen. Our camp managers are all trained to administer first aid and we will have plans in place in terms of further help, depending on the location of the camp. Thanks to our annual consent forms, we will be aware of any underlying health issues of any of our children, so we will be keeping a close eye on these. We will have the contact numbers of all parents/guardians of the children in our care so we will be easily able to get in touch.
