Surrey Slam Schools - State School programme
Sponsored by the Denis Jacobs Youth Cricket Trust
The Surrey Slam Schools programme is open to state-educated young cricketers going into school years 4-8 who generally have some club experience or who are keen & talented and yet to join a club. Those going into year 4 should be strong players and prepared to play hard ball matches the following summer.
Training is at hub venues once a week or once a fortnight, with a 4 or 5 day week at one of our school holiday camps as part of the programme. This will be at Easter or May half-term with the option of the main summer if neither are possible or if sessions become full.
Players will receive 35-50 hours additional training during the year, at a cost of less than £4 an hour, including a coloured personalised Twenty20 team shirt for summer Surrey Slam Schools matches between the teams.
The holiday camp week & team shirt is worth over £180 alone. We have had added the full school holiday week as a fail safe against any potential Covid-19 challenges to ensure we are delivering full value to the programme even if other sessions have to be truncated or adapted. Refunds for missed sessions will therefore not be available as the full value will be given.
Matches will be on Sunday afternoons so as not to clash with most club matches. Matches, played at St George's College Junior School in Weybridge, are additional cost to cover the cost of balls/officials/venue.
Every year the best players across all the Boroughs are selected to play for Surrey Slam Schools teams in an international Twenty20 festival at Epsom College in July an there is a chance to join the Twenty20 Cricket Academy as a progression.
