Summer is when many children first fall in love with cricket. Indoor sessions and informal practice give them a chance to keep playing when the outdoor season ends.
Give practice a purpose
A short session with one clear aim can be easier to fit around school and other activities. A beginner might practise catching with a soft ball. A developing player could work on bowling at a target. A match player might use an indoor game to practise calling and running between wickets.
Keep room for other sports
Children can play cricket alongside football, tennis, swimming or whatever else they enjoy. Other sports give them different ways to move, make decisions and work with teammates. Build a routine your child enjoys and adjust it when school, rest or other commitments need more time.
Choose a session that fits
Fulham offers coaching from first softball sessions through to hardball and match preparation. Start with your child’s experience and what they enjoy, then find a session that works for your family.
