Junior Chair, Neil Coulson would like to thank you for your patience as we worked to confirm arrangements for our indoor winter nets and training programme.

We usually run a range of pre- and post-Christmas sessions, which we’d planned as usual. However, the planned bookings confirmed 12 months ago which secured our slots at Kent CCC in Worsley Bridge Road were cancelled in September without notification.

As a result, Neil and team have spent time scouring alternative venues and times with our focus on ensuring we can deliver our post-Christmas indoor training programme.

Neil doesn't want to bore you with more details, but apologises for only being able to run softball and transition sessions at Eden Park School before Christmas, and a Women and Girls targeted programme on Saturday afternoons at Colfes, which despite the challenges, are going well.

Neil's now ready to detail the full range of post-Christmas sessions running on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9 and 10 January to 19 and 20 March 2024.

TUESDAYS - three training sessions:

Two sessions at Eden Park High School: 5.30pm to 7.00pm for Softball and Transition players; then 7.00pm to 8.30pm for U11 players in years 5 and 6 (up to year 7 for girls)

One session at Worsley Bridge Road: 6.00pm to 7.30pm for U13s in years 7 and 8 (up to year 9 for girls); and U11s (now in year 5 or 6) who played at least four games for the U11 A team in 2023.

WEDNESDAYS - two training sessions:

Both at Eden Park High School: 5.30pm to 7.00pm for U11 players in years 5 and 6 (up to year 7 for girls); then 7.00pm to 8.30pm for U15s in years 9 and 10 (up to year 11 for girls).

PRICES – for 10, 90-minute sessions remain excellent value at £95. Alternatively, you can buy five, 90 minute sessions, running before or after half-term, for £50. All options are available to purchase on Pitchero now.

Sessions at Worsley Bridge Road will include a session during half-term so run for 11 weeks. As a result, you can buy all 11 sessions, or 5 sessions before half-term for £50; or 6 sessions during half-term up to Easter for £60.
