FAQs

Do you have space for my child this summer? 

See Summer season - how to book  and read the information about our three phase summer sign-up process.

Do players need to have played cricket before?

No. Experience of cricket is not necessary, but some familiarity with the game helps, so even if it’s not practical for you to teach/play the game at home, we would certainly encourage you to try to watch some cricket - for example search on YouTube for “IPL highlights”, "Big Bash highlights", "PSL highlights" or "CPL highlights" or for women's cricket "KSL highlights" - there are many hours worth of exciting T20 games available to watch for free.

What ages do you accept?

In the summer, we accept players from school year Reception upwards. At indoor training, we start from Year 1.

In line with ECB Clubmark guidelines, for all players up to age 17 we must have parental permission for them to play. Players 18 years old and over enlist with the club as adults.

Do you have a waiting list / mailing list?

We operate a mailing list via Spond.

Please note that we always put information on the website first, before sending out messages, so if you can't find information on the website, it has not been released yet and there's no need to email us.

Everyone on the mailing list will normally get information about the opening up of bookings as the same time by email, though there may be occasions when we message existing members in advance of the wider mailing list.

Bookings for indoor training, the summer term and summer camps are all on a first paid, first served basis. 

Can I bring my child for a taster session?

If you want to join a session or two as a taster, you can do so (after contacting us at smcccolts@gmail.com to let us know you want to come and registering in Spond). If your child doesn't enjoy it, you won't owe us anything. If your child does want to continue, we ask you to pay a fee that covers the sessions that you have already attended. 

What are the fees?

See Costs.

As a club (seniors as well as juniors) we have an "ability to pay is not a barrier to play" policy. If the fees are unaffordable because you are on a low income, on long-term sick leave, etc, please ask about us making the fees more affordable for you.
