Welcome to the 2023 Youth Section at TCCC. In addition to the Friday night youth cricket for ages 5-9, we will continue our history of having both a under 11s and under 13s practice and teams playing in their respective leagues.
Practice for the under 11s and under 13s will be on Friday nights and benefit from qualified coaching from the Sports Masters team.
Simon Curtis will oversee match day arrangements for the Under 13s and Rich Appleyard will oversee match arrangements for the Under 11s with the help of other club members.
Any help from parents on match day evenings with the warm-up routines and catching practices or even bar-tending, pretty much like they did last season, would be greatly appreciated.
This season the club has decided to enter two teams into the Bath District Youth Cricket League (BDYCL).
Temple Cloud Tigers will play in the under 11s 8 a side Barrington Rules and the 13s will play in 8 aside Barrington Rules. We have entered two teams to ensure that the children who moved out of the younger age group last season are able to continue playing and developing their cricketing ability.
Match days (a weekday evening typically Monday or Tuesday) will be confirmed once the fixtures are confirmed and will be uploaded to the website in due course.
Enrolment will happen either before or at the first nets/practice on Friday 28th April 2023.
The last few seasons have been very productive for the youth policy at Temple. It has taken time to re energise things but we are getting there. With your continued support and help on match day evenings I hope to see our little acorn grow, in time to half decent sized oak! Please continue to spread the gospel of TCCC to friends and family any new youth team players able to play U11s and U13s will be more than welcome, boys and girls alike.
Remember, we remain a family and community orientated club. Enjoyment is our main aim. As a result TCCC is looking forward to resuming the fun, mayhem, camaraderie and BBQ nights that go to making Youth Team Cricket what it is.
