  • Use our 'find a club' page to help you to to find the best club for you and your family. You and your parents can use the club finder to see which clubs are nearest to your house and would suit you the most.
  • When you are about to go down to the club for the first time you dont need any equipment, just wear some comfortable clothes, trainers and take a drink.
  • All Stars Cricket is for children aged between 5 and 8 years old and then you can make the move into the junior sides when you are ready. This would be the time that you would need to get yourself some white clothing.
  • A great tip for your first session would be to ask a friend if they want to go with you. Most clubs let you go to your first session for free to see if you like it.
  • Have fun! Cricket clubs are just THE BEST places for you and your family. There is lots of space to run around, enjoy yourself and learn how to play cricket.
  • When you have been to your first session, get some practice in at home. There are lots of items around the garden that you can use as stumps and you can practice your catching with all sorts of different balls.Footballs, tennis balls, foam balls are all great for catching pratice.
  • If you get to the point where you want to purchase some clothing then there are a whole host of places that you can buy it. Just search for 'junior cricket clothing' on the internet or go to the Fearnley online shop (see links below)
  • Have a look around the 'Kids Zone' as there are lots of games and photos, you might even be in one of them! Let us know why you love cricket and it will even appear on the website!
