Our sessions are free of charge, all run by FA qualified coaches, every Sunday, 10 - 11am at Buckden playing fields, the more the merrier! If you ’ d like to come and join this amazing group of children, please message or contact Matt on 07803 000690 or by email mattbjfc@gmail.com Dribblers Sessions Our Dribblers sessions run throughout the year from 9 - 10am at Buckden playing fields. Sessions cost £1.50 per week, our guide age range is 4, to reception age but this is very much down to the individual child so if you think you have a child that is ready to join us – please contact us, you will find us on Facebook – Buckden Dribblers! We are on the look out for more coaches to help us run these sessions – our current ‘ Big Dribblers ’ coaches will be moving on from September when they form an U7 team and as such we will require new people. BJFC will pay for all coaching courses, first aid and DBS checks and you will receive support from us all throughout your journey.

The sessions will be held on Thursday evenings between 6.00 and 7.30pm, on the Village Hall playing field, and those boys and girls who are under the age of 11 on the 1 st of September 2023 are invited to enrol. There will be a nominal, weekly fee of £2 for participants, or if easier full payment of £25 can be made in advance. The sessions are organised and delivered under the supervi- sion of a fully qualified and experienced English Cricket Board Coach and appropriately authorised helpers. All necessary equipment will be provided, but we are happy if any child has their own bat to bring it along. The focus will be on a mix of skilled coaching and game play, to ensure young players development and enjoyment for those wishing to learn about cricket and perhaps eventually become a future Joe Root or Heather Knight. To enrol your child for these sessions please just turn up on Thursday the 20 th of April, on the playing field. All they need to wear is clothing and trainers that allows them to “ run, jump, throw and swing a bat ”. Senior Cricket For senior cricketers Buckden CC runs three Teams - the 1st and 2nd Teams on Saturdays, participating in Hunts Cricket League Divisions One and Four respectively, with a Sunday Eleven playing in Hunts Cricket League Division Five.
