Actonians Junior Cricket

Junior cricket where everyone gets the chance to play

Actonians Junior Cricket welcomes boys and girls aged 5 to 18, from complete beginners to county pathway players. Membership is open, and every junior is offered the opportunity to play in matches.

More than 20 weeks of summer cricket

Sunday morning training sits at the heart of a programme that includes weekday and Sunday matches, festivals and specialist sessions with the first team coach. Girls’ hardball training takes place on Friday evenings. Older boys and girls are also encouraged to join senior training on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.

Safety fun and a love of the game

Ability is not a barrier to joining. We want children to feel welcome, enjoy themselves and fall in love with cricket. Unlike many clubs that stop during the school holidays, Actonians continues its programme and provides more than 20 weeks of cricket across the summer.

A route from junior to senior teams

The transition into adult cricket is already visible in our senior sides. The men’s first team is captained by a former junior and includes at least six former juniors, while the women’s team includes former and current junior players. The clubhouse is open throughout the year, and families become part of the wider Actonians community.
