mini crickets
As a Teacher, Surrey Cricket Coach and a father of 3, I noticed there were no
other kids cricket opportunities for 3-8 year olds. From my own point of view I
always wanted my children to enjoy sport, but equally want them to be stretched
from an early age. I believe children are far more capable at times than we give
them credit for, therefore although our program is all about developing your
child’s physical learning of cricket and social skills attributed though
enjoyment, our unique concept enables the core skills of cricket to be
introduced from an early age to great success.” For the last 3 years running we
are honored to be nominated for an ‘Outstanding Services to Cricket Coaching
Award’ by the Natwest OSCA’S at Surrey County Cricket Club. Mini Crickets has
also proven to be a significant feeder into County Cricket with 8 of our clients
last year successfully making it into the Surrey County Cricket Performance
Squads! Coaches are all highly qualified having undergone an intensive inset
program, as well as undertaking DBS/first aid and ECB coaching awards. If you
would like your daughter or son to start their cricket careers on the right
‘front foot drive’, then ‘Crickety’ is waiting for a high five! During the
Summer of 2017 Mini Crickets founder Jon Albert was incredibly proud to receive
the honour of ‘ Outstanding Coaching Achievement’ from Surrey County Cricket
Club. This award was given for his innovative coaching methods which have been
developed over the years to create our Mini Cricket classes. Jon is thrilled
that his program has been recognised with this honour and we look forward
rolling our program out to as many children as possible over the coming year.
This recognition is down to the commitment of all the Mini Cricket coaches
throughout our centres and special mention goes to Henry Thorpe who won ‘Young
Coach of the Year.
