The club is pleased to confirm that outdoor sessions will begin at our Burtonhole Lane ground in mid-April following the final indoor training this week, with programmes running for 13 consecutive weeks until mid-July.

The sessions start after a successful indoor winter training programme at Mill Hill School.

This season, training will be split across different days to better match age groups and ability levels. Boys and girls are welcome.

Suitable for anyone new or relatively new to cricket
:: Hard ball development sessions for years 4, 5 and 6 will run on Friday evenings from April 17, between 6.30pm-8pm

U14s are welcome to attend either Wednesdays or Fridays.

A Mill Hill Village Cricket Club spokesman said the new structure “allows players to develop in the right environment for their age and ability, while keeping the sessions enjoyable and inclusive for everyone involved.”

All programmes run for 13 consecutive weeks, lasting until the second week of July.

Matches are scheduled to begin on April 27 and will continue throughout the season, with most teams playing weekly fixtures organised through the Middlesex Junior Cricket Association.

Annual junior membership fees remain unchanged at £150 for match-playing members and £100 for non-match players.

The club will continue to use the ClubSports365 app for registrations, payments and team management, alongside WhatsApp groups for communication.
