The junior section of Rye Cricket Club is planning a busy autumn of coaching opportunities for girls and boys aged 7-13 at Rye Sports Centre.

Rye Cricket Club is also running a free cricket programme from October 6 for 10 weeks for Rye Academy students in years 7, 8 and 9 from 3:30pm – 5pm. The aim is to develop a Rye Academy cricket team to play local independent schools. Fixtures have already been arranged with Claremont School, and games will be hosted at the Rye Cricket Salts.
Later in the autumn there will be sessions for older Colts, with a focus on encouraging dads to return to cricket by participating in the coaching sessions, with a view to their participation in playing cricket in 2022.
The autumn coaching programme has been supported by a generous grant from the Rye Community Shop.
