Contact your team manager or Clare Ludlow at crouchendccjuniors@outlook.com for information on how to access courses and other ways to support the club.
LOOKING TO PLAY CRICKET?
Has having a son or daughter in the junior section made you think about making a return to the game? Or taking it up? We run five men’s teams, one women’s team, a Sunday friendly XI and – new for 2025 – a midweek T20 team. If you can’t commit to playing regularly, you can take out social membership and pay as you play. Contact our membership secretary Simon Tanner or your child’s team manager.
