Cricket opportunities with Chippenham CC this Winter

With our 2025 Summer outdoor sessions finishing on Monday August 18th, we want to let you know how you can continue to get your ‘cricket fix’ across the winter months as well as working on developing your skills further. The club provides 3 different ways you can keep playing over the winter. They are:

1. Net practice with family and friends. The club's two static nets at the ground are free for all club members to use during the winter months. It is always best to book though, so you don’t get there and find they are already in use. As a reminder you can book via the home page of the club website. Click here to go to the home page and you will find the booking system halfway down the home page. Select the ‘Net Hire’ option and it will list dates and times the nets are available.

2.  Indoor Group Hardball Coaching Sessions. This winter we will once again being using the Indoor facility at Sedge Fen for training sessions. These will take place over 10 dates during the winter and there will be two sessions on each date. So you can book either session one 6.30pm-7.30pm or session two 7.30pm to 8.30pm. Please note to cover venue hire there will be a charge of £5 per person per session and you will be charged for this via Slate.

Again you book into these sessions using the online booking system on the home page of the website. For these sessions choose the option, Winter Nets - Hardball. The dates the sessions are availabe to book this winter are:

Thursday 6th, 13th, 20th, 27th November and 4th December.

Monday 12th, 19th, 26th January, 2nd & 9th February.

Please note spaces are limited so the early you book the better to ensure you secure a place in the sessions you want.

3. Indoor Group Softball Junior Training

   
   

Softball Training for U11s will start after October half term on a Monday evening (5pm-6pm) at the Ross Peers Sports Centre in Soham. Details of how to book into these sessions will be sent out towards the end of September.

4. 1:1  or 1: 2 coaching with qualified club coaches

We have a number of qualified club coaches who can provide 1:1 or 1:2 coaching during the winter months. Members can book the nets at the ground for these sessions free of charge. However, please note there will be a charge from the coach for 1:1 and 1:2 sessions and this should be discussed directly with the specifc coach you want your session with.
