TCC Development Plan - Thurstonland Cricket Club

THURSTONLAND CRICKET CLUB
Project 6 - Developing an Under 11 Cricket Team
Project Leader - John Eastwood
For the past 4 seasons the Huddersfield Junior Cricket League has run an Under 11s
section. This has grown in size each year to include 23 teams for the 2006 season.
Thurstonland Cricket Club feel that if they are to continue and flourish as a
successful and well run club that now is the time to plan for the introduction of
Under 11s cricket at the club.
We have already lost out on the services of a few young cricketers who have joined
other clubs to enable them to start playing at a younger age and cannot afford to let
this trend continue.
We also feel that because of the limited availability of sporting activities available to
the Under 11 age group in the area (Neither Thurstonland or the surrounding villages
of Stocksmoor, Farnley Tyas, New Mill or Brockholes have either cricket or football
teams in the Under 11 age range.) that we are in a strong position to attract players
and to provide a valuable recreational activity to the young people of the local
communities.
Equipment / Training Required:
League Fees and Administration Costs - £50
Match Kit Bag - £200
Match Balls - £50

There is also the need for increased numbers of qualified coaches as described in
Project 7 - Raising the Standard of Coaching and Coaching Equipment.
Thurstonland Cricket Club will provide:
CRB checked ECB qualified coaches
2 coaches - 15 Training Session (1.5 hours each) - Total 45 hours
1 coaches per match - 15 league and cup fixtures (3 hours each) - Total 45 hours
Preparation of ground for training and matches (1 hour per week) - Total 15 hours
Administration (league meetings, results etc.) - Total 10 hours
Total hours - 115 x £7.50 per hour = £862.50 in kind contribution.
