3. COMMON QUESTIONS

What to wear to training?

For training sessions, children can wear cricket whites, but many will just wear sports clothing – T-shirts, polo shirts, shorts, tracksuit bottoms, leggings and trainers, etc.

In April and in the first half of May, the evenings can be quite cool so please make sure the children have warm clothing.

What kit do the children need to bring?

For children who are doing hardball training they can bring their equipment with them, e.g. helmet, gloves, pads and a groin protector.

For those doing softball cricket, they don’t need to bring anything with them, albeit if they have a bat they can bring that with them.

If they are doing hardball and don’t have kit, they may be able to borrow from other children, albeit possibly not a groin protector.

Any child facing a hardball must wear a properly fitted helmet. If they don’t have one, they must borrow one that fits correctly, otherwise they won’t be permitted to bat against bowlers. This is crucial for health and safety.

What happens if it rains?

We are often asked what happens with matches/training when it is raining and if rain is threatening. There is no easy answer to this as it depends on the conditions at the time.

Our basic approach is that we are reluctant to cancel when there is a prospect that things can go ahead. However, once a decision is made to cancel, whether a training session or a match, we will send urgent messages out on Pitchero and on other media so parents have as much notice as possible. Sometimes, circumstances are such that parents travel and then the match or training session is abandoned without starting. We try to avoid this, but it could happen.

If a match or training session starts and is then abandoned, someone will stay with the children until parents can arrive to collect them

Who do I contact if I have any questions?

We have set out below a list of contacts, both Age Group Managers and other useful contacts. If unsure your first port of call is either Shaftab Khalid or Laura Fairbairn.
