Age Groups
Horsham Cricket Club runs age group teams from U6 – U16 for girls and boys.
Players are required to become members of the junior section of the cricket club and to pay an annual subscription which covers training sessions and is payable at the beginning of the season. Players cannot play in matches unless they have paid their subscription.
Players who were in our U16 age group last year and are now over 16 years of age, will still be considered as junior members until they reach the age of 18 even if they only play in senior teams.
Juniors who wish to play in senior matches should let their age group managers know so that they can liaise with the relevant adult captains
Subscriptions
U6 – U18 – £75 (HDC LAC card holders- £37.50).
Match fees are £5 per game (league, cup and friendlies) for matches in U10’s –U16’s age groups.
Match fees cover the cost of league entries and match balls.
Kit
Players in the U6-U8 Thursday group will be provided with a t-shirt to wear to training as part of their membership.
All players from U9’s – to adult will be required to wear the current training kit to training sessions and the current match shirt in matches.
Our new navy match shirts for 2025 must be ordered directly from the club please email memberships@horshamsportsclub.com. All other kit can be ordered directly from our supplier HERE.
Outdoor training will start from Wednesday 23rd April with other age groups following on from that date on the relevant night. The U6-U8 training starts on Thursday 8th May.
Please do not come along on spec to outdoor training unless we have already asked you to bring your child along – our numbers are currently high in some age groups and we already have children on a waiting list. We are obliged to restrict numbers at training in each group to comply with Health and Safety and Clubmark coaching guidelines. Please email memberships@horshamsportsclub.com if you are unsure.
