U9 Team Selection

U9 Team Selection Policy
As previously communicated we are expecting 35+ children for summer coaching in the U9 age group. That is great for the club, but it does give us a challenge when trying to ensure we give as many children as possible the opportunity to play in matches against other clubs. At U9 level we play 'Pairs Cricket'. This is normally teams of 10, but can be teams of eight if the opposition cannot field a team of 10 players. So as you can see we need to manage the numbers.

Whilst children's cricket is primarily about fun, we also want to encourage a competitive environment and win matches when we can.

The U9A team will be selected with a view to fielding as strong and competitive side as possible.

The U9B team will be selected to be competitive but we will also use it to give as many children as possible a Sunday morning match. Year 4 children will be given priority, but past experience shows that with numerous other calls on family time we will need the support of the whole U9 squad to fulfil our fixture list.

Our first fixture is an U9 Tournament hosted by IBM Hursley on Sunday 27th April. We have entered two teams and selection notification will be via the website.
