Colts' Cricket at Ferring
We have a well established, friendly Colts' section within Ferring Cricket Club under the guidance of Colts' Head Coach 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 6-16 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 and we aim to start getting uyoungsters involved early with our family cricket sessions. We are incredibly proud of our mix of boys and girls and try to ensure there are no barriers to anyone who wants to get involved in playing cricket.
​
A number of our senior and junior players volunteer to assist with coaching sessions and the club welfare officers are Mike Lewis and Claire Lewis. These usually take place on Tuesday 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.
