Starts Saturday 19th January
After a successful 2018 season for our Youth Section, we are looking to build on the forward strides all our young players made and we want to give them more opportunities to improve and enjoy their cricket. Feedback that we received from the youngsters at the end of the season, said that they wanted to get more cricket and we are delighted to be able to offer five practice sessions each for the girls and boys in our age-group squads who are playing or aspiring to play Youth Hardball Cricket. All the sessions take place at the Malahide CC nets and come sun, cloud, rain or wind, we will be training – only snow will cancel the session, as we don’t want our players travelling to or being around the club in treacherous conditions. These sessions are also free to all members of Malahide CC Youth Section.
All the sessions take place on Saturdays and the times and dates for the sessions are as follows:
Junior Youth Sessions
5th, 6th Class and 1st Year Girls
11am – 1230pm

Our Cricket Development Manager, Michael Hingston will be running the sessions and they will focus mainly on building up technique and also developing some of the physical aspects of cricket as well, with pre-season being the prime time of year to build those foundations. They will also be an opportunity for players to work on other areas of their game that they would like to.
Players are to bring full cricket equipment with them, warm clothes, rain jackets and a bottle of water.
No registration necessary, just turn up to Malahide CC nets on the days listed and ready to go for the start-times. For more information, please contact Michael on 085 877 4028 or email michael.hingston@malahidecricketclub.com. We look forward to seeing your child there!
