Just as you thought that the cricket season was drawing to a close here are the details of the Colts Winter Nets leading up to the start of the 2012 season!
We have decided to change our approach this winter by focusing attention on the 3 or 4 months immediately leading up to the start of the new season and by basing ourselves in a new venue (Abbs Cross Sports Centre) which we believe offers top class facilities for us to practice in.
For those new to Winter Nets they represent a great opportunity to really fast-track a young player’s development in all aspects of the game, while for the more experienced players they provide the chance to focus on improving those areas of their game which they were perhaps not happy with in 2011.
The sessions will be fun and coach to player ratios will be kept very low, with a ratio of 1 coach to every 6 players being our worst case target. Unfortunately this means that we are only able to offer a limited number of places and we will in fact only have 18 places available to those who will be in the U11s or below next season (i.e. in school year 6 or below as of September ‘11) and a further 18 places available to those who will be in the U13s or above next season (i.e. in school year 7 or above as of September’11).
The Club sees this as one of its key young player development deliverables and as such is going to be subsidising the running costs very heavily, allowing us to offer the coaching at a bargain price of less than £2.50 per hour!
