How classes work
CT Sports Club is a cricket academy for kids aged 6 to 17. We teach the game the right way from the first class: sound technique, safe habits and a love of playing, in small batches where every child gets real coaching time.

Coaching
- A planned session from our curriculum, every class
- Batches of 10 to 13 players, grouped by stage
- Every child bats, bowls and fields in every class
- Placement by skill after a free evaluation, not just by age
Safety and care
- A coach and an assistant coach at every class
- Coaches are background-checked
- Helmets for every hard-ball drill
- Any suspected head injury: the player sits out and we call you
Keeping you informed
- A short update from the coach every month
- A written report at the end of each term
- Bills that list each class date
- A make-up class when you miss one, when a place is free
Reputation Athletics Field House
9 Gerber Blvd, Vernon, CT 06066. An indoor field house, so classes run whatever the Connecticut weather.
What to bring
- Comfortable sports clothes and the academy cricket shirt (handed out at the first session)
- Clean indoor sports shoes (sneakers or trainers)
- A full water bottle
- Your own bat and kit if you have them; if not, we provide bats and balls
- No pads or helmet needed at first: the early stages use a soft ball. Protective kit comes in only with the leather ball and the bowling machine, and we tell you before then
