We are excited to announce all the dates for our summer holiday camps which will provide young cricketers with the opportunity to continue to develop and enhance their game in the fun and enjoyable environment of Old Ruts. 

The camps are designed and run by Eranga Mendis, former Sri Lankan first class player and ECB level 3 coach who has a wealth of experience running camps like this for a over decade and he is ably supported by Josh Price. We have three different courses running per camp to suit all levels and ages and are available to members and non members of old Ruts cricket.

Courses: 9am – 1pm @ Clubhouse, Poplar Road

Beginners’ course                         

This course is designed for children 5-7 years old. Ideal for complete beginners, children relatively new to the game or anyone who has been to an ALL STARS cricket programme.

Intermediate course

This course is aimed at children aged 8-10 who have a reasonable understanding of the basics of cricket. Players will focus on developing their basic skills and will play regular matches using incredi-balls.

Advanced course

These courses are ideal for players aged 11 to 16 who are developing the tactical side of the game. The entire course is match based with juniors expected to play a mix of 2 day test matches, one-day limited overs and 20/20 matches using hard balls.
