Sunday indoor nets and 1st XI recruitment for 2027
Join our Sunday training programme and help us find experienced players to strengthen Chingford's first team.
Chingford Cricket Club's indoor pre-season programme is planned through Sunday 25 April 2027. Existing players and prospective new members can register their interest in attending.
SESSION TIMES
16:00–18:00 and 18:00–20:00.
Each session is limited to 12 players, with six per net. Sessions will be confirmed weekly according to demand; additional earlier Sunday sessions may be added if numbers grow. Holiday sessions will be confirmed separately.
HOW TO ATTEND
Availability is collected through the weekly poll in the dedicated training WhatsApp group. Places are allocated first come, first served and must be confirmed before attending. Please do not turn up without an allocated place.
Contact Stephen Thorne to join the group or to discuss prospective-player attendance. These are open, player-led practice sessions for senior and junior players, not coached trials. Parents should contact Stephen before arranging attendance for a junior player.
FEES AND ARRIVAL
Training is free for fully paid playing members. Prospective members should contact Stephen for introductory-session and membership payment details before attending.
Arrive 15 minutes early and be ready for the start. Change into clean indoor footwear, keep bags and personal belongings in the changing rooms, and notify Stephen promptly if you can no longer attend.
VOLUNTEER HELP
Assistance with timekeeping and batting rotations would be appreciated so everyone receives fair batting time and sessions finish on time.
HELP STRENGTHEN OUR 1ST XI
We are looking for experienced batters, bowlers, all-rounders and wicketkeepers capable of competing for first-team places in 2027. Please share the recruitment poster with suitable players and ask them to contact the club with their playing role, recent club and playing level, and availability. Attending training does not guarantee team selection.
