Fun and inclusive group coaching sessions
Each school holiday we run a number of courses for children in School Years 2 – 8. These courses involve a number of different cricket practises and games and are a great opportunity for players to improve their skills. The holiday courses are delivered by our full-time community coaches who are experts in delivering enjoyable and engaging sessions to children.
All courses take place in the indoor school at The Centre of Excellence, Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton, TA1 IJT.
When booking onto Somerset Cricket Foundation Children’s Coaching Courses, please be aware of our cancellation policy.
