Indoor Winter Cricket Training in Sutton — Junior Cricket Training, Tuesday Evenings

Winter Training Dates 2026/27

Winter training runs on Tuesday evenings in two ten-session blocks. Every date is listed below, so you can check the calendar before you book.

Block A (running now) — Tuesday 6 October to Tuesday 8 December 2026

6 October · 13 October · 20 October · 27 October · 3 November · 10 November · 17 November · 24 November · 1 December · 8 December

Block B — Tuesday 12 January to Tuesday 16 March 2027

12 January · 19 January · 26 January · 2 February · 9 February · 16 February · 23 February · 2 March · 9 March · 16 March

Two things worth knowing before you book.

Sessions run straight through half term. Tuesday 16 February 2027 goes ahead as normal — a lot of families are surprised by that, so it is worth putting in the diary.

Week one of each block is at a different school from the rest. Session 1 of Block B, on Tuesday 12 January 2027, is at Harris Academy Sutton, and the free Winter Open Day runs alongside it. Every other session is at Overton Grange School, except Tue 3 and Tue 10 November 2026, which are at Harris Academy Sutton. Please check the venue before you set off.

 

Where We Train — Indoor Cricket Nets in Sutton and Cheam

Harris Academy Sutton — 2 Chiltern Road, Sutton, Surrey SM2 5QP. Entrance via Chiltern Road. This is where week one of each block is held, alongside the free Winter Open Day.

Overton Grange School — 36 Stanley Road, Sutton SM2 6TQ. Sessions 2 to 10 of each block, except Tue 3 and Tue 10 November (Harris Academy Sutton).

Both venues have full-size indoor cricket nets, so sessions run whatever the weather is doing outside. Both have parking, and both are a short drive from the A217 and A232.

Winter training runs across a mix of two venues: Harris Academy Sutton and Overton Grange School — see the week-by-week schedule above for which venue each session is at.

Where our families come from. Winter training draws children from across SM1, SM2 and SM3 — Sutton, Belmont, Cheam, North Cheam and Worcester Park — and from Banstead, Ewell, Worcester Park, Carshalton and Mitcham. If you are within about fifteen minutes of Sutton, you are in our catchment.

Who Winter Training Is For

School years 3 to 6 — 6.10pm to 7.30pm. Softball cricket indoors. Every piece of equipment is provided; your child needs trainers and something comfortable to move in. Nothing else.

School Years 7 to 11 — 7.40pm to 9.00pm. Some sessions use a hard ball. Without protective equipment, taking part may be limited in some activities.

Girls and boys train together in both sessions. Girls are welcome throughout, and our girls section is growing — girls play in every age group at this club, not in a separate afterthought.

There is no minimum standard and nobody is turned away. Some children arrive having played for five years; others have never held a bat. Sessions are led by ECB-qualified coaches working in small groups, which means the quieter children get looked after rather than lost at the back of a queue.

If your child has never played, the sensible first step is a free taster night on any Tuesday in Block A (book at cheamcricketclub.com/taster), or the free Winter Open Day on Tuesday 12 January 2027. Come along, see whether they enjoy it, and decide afterwards.

Yes. Tuesday 16 February 2027 goes ahead as normal.

​

What if we cannot make every week?

Book the 3-session package, or single sessions.

​

My child has never played cricket. Will they be out of their depth?
