Regional Surrey Cricket Academies 2023-24
 

Our Regional Cricket Academies in Surrey are the top level of our pathway and are open to all hard ball players in school years 5-13.

 

We have separate boys & girls Academies in the east & west of Surrey.

 

The Academies have a range of players from those who were in county performance pathways, those who aspire to reach that level and players who simply want to be the best cricketer they can be.

 

Some new players may be invited to trial for a place. Regular Tier 1 & 2 Surrey Junior Cricket Championship (SJCC) club players may not need to trial if places are available.

Academy players receive:
 

• September to Easter indoor weekly training (days, times & venues below).
  There is no training in the summer as players have training at their clubs.

• Personalised training & playing clothing.

• In-session videos via StanceBeam app.

• Individual progress reports via StanceBeam app, on request.

• October (23-27) & February (12-16) half-term half-day sessions at Richard Challoner School.

• Opportunity for some players to be selected to play in International indoor tournaments in Vienna over October and February half-term weekends (extra costs involved).

• Access to Easter holiday Season Preparation courses, May half-term and summer holiday festival weeks for players up to and including under 15 (must be booked separately and are subject to availability).

• Surrey Adult & Junior Indoor League matches over the winter.

• Outdoor summer matches scored and live streamed via our own CricHeroes app.

• Intra-Academy summer holiday festival match weeks.

• Young Leaders in Cricket course opportunities for U14-U16s (at extra cost details tbc).

• Umpiring and scoring training opportunities.

• Duke of Edinburgh Award opportunities.

Matches

Club matches always take precedence over Academy games as we are here to support clubs, not to compete with them.

 

Due to the potential clashes with club commitments, Academy matches are an optional extra to the core program, so if you can’t play in matches as you have club games or other commitments, it’s not an issue and we don’t include a cost for this in the program. Some match fees may be required for adult games.
 

We will run summer matches Monday-Thursday evenings. There will also be weekend matches for older players in adult matches to help their transition to adult cricket.
 

• Additional potential match opportunities for U13-U18 players: -

  • 1st XI Surrey Downs League (Saturday, 40 overs per side)

  • 2nd XI Sunday Adult Friendly Matches (Typically 40 overs per side)

  • Mini–Test Matches in the school summer holidays (2-day, 2 innings)

  • 1st XI Academy festival week tour matches in South-East England
