Junior Cricket Highlights
Junior Cricket at the Standard is organised at the under-11 and under-16 levels. U11s still play an adapted form of the game that doesn’t require any protective equipment, while U16s progress to play traditional cricket.
Training sessions are conducted by Girish and Jyothi. Members of the senior team (Henry, Nissem, Nishant, Andrew and everyone else) join these sessions as much as possible to share their expertise.
We focus on individual skills for all players and hope to be able to hold fixtures with local clubs.
SAC Juniors in action
Your children won't need any special clothing or cricket gear at any level. The SAC cricket section has cricket gear and training aids adapted for small hands (this season we are lending kit so no one has to share), your child doesn't need to bring any gear unless they have some already. Having said that, it is always good to have a few personal things, especially for protection.

U11s: 10:00-11:00

Facilities
Junior Cricket Club has all the equipment necessary (except some due to COVID that are required to be individual). Players are required to join with their sportswear.
Practice sessions are on Saturday mornings, but can also be on any weekday. Any other weekday has to be planned ahead (based on Girish's or the representative’s availability).
Membership covers the cost of the equipment, the obligatory France Cricket Junior Licence, and a special piece of cricket clothing.
