Objectives/Aims

The main priority in all of our coaching sessions and matches is for the budding young cricketers to have fun!  Our main objective is to develop junior players into senior cricketers and therefore we encourage our under 15 age group and above, to make themselves available for the four Saturday league teams, the Sunday side, or the Wednesday evening league team.

We accept players of all standards and abilities – we will find some cricket for you!

For further information on junior cricket at AVCC, please email the Coordinator of Junior Cricket, Phil Evans.

Under 11

We have one team who play in the Oxfordshire Cricket League which is intended to give under 11 cricketers useful experience of the 11 a-side game.  We have also entered one team in the Oxfordshire Friendly League which is intended for younger or less experienced players, to give them an introduction to competitive cricket.  The format of this competition is 8 a-side pairs cricket.  Matches are played on midweek evenings usually starting at 6pm
