Questions parents ask

My child has never held a bat. Is that okay?

Absolutely — most of our children start with zero experience. Sessions begin with movement games and progress at each child's pace.

Do parents stay during the session?

Yes. Parents stay pitch-side for the full 45 minutes, and for the 3-4 age group we encourage joining in.

What should my child wear?

Comfortable clothes and trainers. All bats, balls, stumps and cones are provided by us.

What happens if it rains?

Sessions move indoors to the school hall. We never cancel for weather, and missed classes can be rescheduled.

What parents say about our coaching

From families in our coaches' previous early years cricket programme in New Zealand. Thamesmead and Bexleyheath classes start September 2026.

My wee fella was absolutely buzzing after his first session. The coaches are so patient and make it real fun for the kids.
Sophie M.Mum of a 4-year-old, Auckland NZ
It's a proper good way to start a Saturday — bit of cricket, lots of laughter, and he naps all the way home. Choice!
Liam T.Dad of a 3-year-old, Wellington NZ
The small groups mean the coach actually knows every child. My daughter was shy at kindy but runs straight in now.
