About us:- At Out of Term we recognise the benefits of an active lifestyle and look to promote this through quality instruction.  All courses are constructed and run by qualified Level 3 players/coaches with the aim of providing technical instruction within a safe and enjoyable environment.  Coaches are qualified as per the regulations laid out by the governing body that controls the activity they are coaching.  All coaches are vetted for suitability and have signed a declaration concerning their good character  (a sample form is available upon request).  The Course Leader is instantly contactable and will carry a list of emergency numbers at all times.  A qualified First Aider will be in attendance at every course.

Course content:-  Qualified coaches will offer instruction in every aspect of the game and participants will be supervised at all times.  Programmes are designed to cater for everyone from the novice to the county/regional player.  Sessions include:

• the laws of cricket
• skill practices in batting, bowling and fielding
• competitive games and quizzes to test the newly acquired skill  
• opportunities to ask questions. 

Some courses also include day trips, for example to watch professional cricket at Lord's.

Upon completion of the course each participant will be issued with a progress report containing hints for further improvement.  Prizes are also up for grabs for participants who have made an all-round contribution to the course.

What to bring:-   Some kit will be provided but for the more specialist pieces of equipment participants are requested to bring their own.  Whites are desirable but not essential. Trainers should be brought, along with any specialist footwear.  Sun hats and sun cream and/or suitable waterproof clothing are required, depending on weather conditions.  A packed lunch is required for all full day courses, although a ‘tuck shop’ facility will be available.
