Colts' Cricket at Ferring
We have a well established, friendly Colts' section within Ferring Cricket Club under the guidance of Colts' Manager Alex King.
Alex is a professionally qualified coach who works full time at Hove as a Cricket Development Officer for the Sussex Cricket Foundation and is a playing member of the club.
We coach girls and boys in different age groups from 7-16 and enter the appropriate age level Sussex Colt leagues playing soft ball pairs and hard ball overs matches. New Colts players of all abilities are always welcomed.
The club have two Welfare Officers one of whom is a dedicated Colts' W.O.
A number of our senior and junior players volunteer to assist with coaching sessions . These usually take place on Thursday and Friday evenings during the season at our ground.
We hold pre-season winter indoor coaching sessions for our colts. One to one coaching sessions with our professional coach are also available.
If you would like to find out more please contact the club via the Contact Us page.
