In
1953 the club formed its first junior
team, at under 16 level, and now
operates teams at under 9, 11 13,15 and
17 playing league and cup cricket in The
Wetherby Cricket League. In 2009 we had
in excess of 100 junior members, both
boys and girls in all age groups and our
Friday evening coaching evenings
throughout the spring and summer
regularly attract in excess of 70
youngsters for coaching by our team of
17 qualified Coaches and Assistant
Coaches.
 In
2004 the club achieved Sport England
Clubmark Accreditation, the first
Cricket Club in North Yorkshire and only
the third in the whole of Yorkshire to
achieve this mark. This was renewed in
2007 for a further three-year term. This
Accreditation is a guarantee to all
parents that the club operates in a
child friendly manner and carries out
all the statutory checks on a regular
basis.
Following this
accreditation the club has achieved
Focus Club status which gives us
priority on funding and other services
provided by the English Cricket Board
including one to one attention from the
Cricket Development Manager. for North
Yorkshire, Ian Powell.
Our
volunteer coaching staff consist of UKCC
Level's 1 & 2 and we are committed to
constantly adding to our strong base of
trained coaches. All volunteers
qualified and unqualified are CRB
checked and our qualified staff are all
trained in First Aid and have been on a
Safeguarding and Protecting Children
Course.
The
coaching season begins with our winter
nets programme which runs for eight
weeks from February - see our
NEWS page
for forthcoming dates and details.
Regular coaching is preceded by our
registration evening and begins in
earnest in April, 6.30pm - 8.00pm,
running throughout the Summer until the
end of the school summer term.

Membership of our junior section

cricket!

look forward to welcoming you to the
club this forthcoming season and are
sure that both yourselves and your
children will enjoy. |
