Team Information


U12 - U15

Provide access to targeted and specific training in a suitable environment to develop and implement cricketing skills

Familiarise and develop an understanding of the culture and standards required to progress and perform effectively for the School and beyond

Fixtures should develop and broaden boy’s games by focussing on their role and responsibilities and how their actions, behaviours, and intent can influence individual and team performance

Areas such as selection, batting orders, bowling orders etc. will not be driven by the sole intention of winning matches, but with the development of the individual and team. While results are relevant to players, the emphasis will remain upon individual and team development so that players are ready to play at higher levels

1XIs to consistently reach the later rounds of local competitions and compete against all opposition

Senior XIs

Provide access to highly competitive training environments and matches that allow boys to apply, challenge, and develop their skills

Teams below Senior 1XI will focus on individual development so that players are ready to perform effectively for the Senior 1XI (although results are still relevant)

Results and performances only become a specific focus for the Senior 1XI. Decisions will be made to ensure a squad of players are suitably prepared for the Royal Grammar School Cricket Festival
