We’re excited to announce that our pre-season indoor training programme will run from January through to March. This is open to players from all our senior and junior teams, including our women's and girls' sections.

The first block of indoor nets starts on Sunday 11th January at Horsforth School.

12pm to 1pm - 4 lanes for our Senior Squad A (1st XI, 2nd XI & 3rd XI)

1pm to 2pm - 2 lanes for our Senior Squad B & Senior Juniors (4th XI, U18s & U15s) and 2 lanes for our Women's Squad (Hard Ball & Soft Ball)

2pm to 3pm - 4 lanes for our Junior Hard Ball Squads (U13s & U11s)

3pm to 4pm - 2 lanes for our Junior Soft Ball Squads (U9s & U7s) and 2 lanes for our Girls (U13s & U11s)

ALL these indoor training sessions are attended by our ECB qualified coaches and ALL are FREE to our current members, as well as those who join us for their first season.

What the programme covers

Our indoor sessions are designed to sharpen skills, build fitness, and prepare every player for the outdoor season, both physically and mentally. Sessions will include:

• Skill work: batting technique, bowling variations, wicketkeeping drills, and fielding mechanics.
• Fitness and conditioning: cricket-specific movement, agility, and injury-prevention exercises.
• Specialist coaching: focused clinics for pace, spin, and power-hitting delivered by our coaching team.

Who should attend

The indoor programme is inclusive and structured to suit different ages and abilities:

• Seniors: tailored sessions for competitive match preparation and role-specific work.
• Juniors: age-appropriate coaching, progress-focused drills, and fun match play.
• Women and girls: dedicated sessions and mixed sessions to support development and participation.
• New players: everyone is welcome; beginners will be supported to build confidence and core skills.

Indoor League

Both our Inter Club Indoor League and the Leeds Indoor Cricket League will continue through to the end of March, so there are also plenty of opportunities for some competitive cricket before we move outdoors in April.

Body and mind

Indoor training is an investment in both body and mind. Whether you want to sharpen technique, boost fitness, or strengthen your mental game, these sessions will give every player the tools to perform with greater consistency and enjoyment when the outdoor season returns. We look forward to seeing everyone in the nets.

With membership fees starting at just over £1 per week (including all our training sessions), we look forward to welcoming many new members in 2026.
