Cost
The cost of the Academy is £96 per child for the Academy outdoor season, which runs from mid-April through to July. The Academy welcomes both boys and girls.

Coaching
The U9 to U13 age groups train on Thursday Academy Evenings from 6.30 to 8.00pm, starting on Thursday 18th April 2024.

The coaching team is led by John Hall and Paul Griffiths and also includes Neil Agate, Lyle Kercher, Marianna Graham and Paul Howard, all of whom possess ECB Level 1, 2 or Level 3 coaching qualifications.

The Club encourages club members and parents to undertake ECB recognised qualifications including Coach Support Worker and ECB Level 1 and 2. The Academy recognises the invaluable contribution made club members and parents to the running of the Academy and welcomes all contributions no matter how large or small.

Competitive Cricket
The Academy is committed to ensure that all children will have an opportunity to play competitive cricket. The Academy runs teams which play in the Surrey Junior Cricket Championship.

Kit
Cricket inherently involves a certain amount of kit. The club has some kit, so it is not essential to purchase bats, pads, etc. straightaway for newcomers. However, for those playing with a hard ball, protective boxes and helmets are good first purchases, as they are items best not shared! Please note that helmets are mandatory for wicket keepers and batsmen when playing hardball cricket (U10's and above).
Teams playing in the SJCC are encouraged to play in coloured kit, which will be available from the Club on a refundable deposit basis.
