Bridgnorth Cricket Club prides itself on its junior cricket section. For over 30 years we have invited children to the club and provided them with a consistent, quality and safe environment in which to play and enjoy the game.
We currently run four junior age-group sides: U10s, U11s, U13s and U15s, and three Cup Knockout sides: U12s, U14s and U17s.
A number of the players have consistently represented the club in District and County sides.
For 12 weeks during the season the club runs the ECB Inter Cricket Award Scheme - an initiative in assocation with NatWest. This is targeted at children in school year 3 and above. We also run high-skill net and one-to-one coaching sessions for our junior age group sides, which are led by one of our Shropshire Cricket Board Excellence Coaches. The club is proud to have 14 ECB-qualified coaches, who give their time freely to youth cricket.
As part of our clubmark accreditation all coaches have attended child protection courses, first aid courses and are fully qualified ECBCA coaches ensuring the sport can be coached in the safest atmosphere and at the highest level. This does not affect the ethos "enjoy the sport, play the sport".
The club has a welfare officer and is committed to the ECB policies of 'safe hands'.
