I have a cricket mad 4.5 year old who is desperate to start learning how to play the game. I have been searching for cricket clubs/coaching in the East Dulwich area but there doesnt seem to be anything available for under 7s. Does anyone know if there is such a thing available in the local area?

Hi,


I don't know if Alleyn and Honour Oak that play at Alleynians on Burbage Road do under 5s but we've had a bad experience with them at under 9 level. They have a very short season (April until July) and charge ?120 membership. Another parent told us that the short season is because 'they cater mostly for private school boys and the parents tend to have holiday homes so they don't run fixtures through the holidays'. The organisers didn't tell us that the season was so short and let us sign our son up in June so that effectively we paid ?30 a session for the four remaining sessions we had access to (one was rained off)! In addition the fixtures seem really only to be for the prep school boys who play at school and therefore have already had coaching. If you are looking for a club that will coach and bring on a kid who doesn't already play cricket then I suggest you look elsewhere.


Someone else recommended the club opposite Harvester, we'll be looking at that one next time!

    • @first mate  just Google the Green's policies and AI should summarise.  For sustainable transport this includes more initiatives to get people out of their cars as you would expect.  I've always been broadly in favour of their environmental policies, although feel they should go further on culture change. Some of their national policies are bonkers and/or unrealistic - as are most of Reform's.  Historically fringe parties could come up with nonsense, as they will never govern.  Of course whilst I don't expect that Polanski will ever be PM that other bloke could be.  Worrying times, particularly if the Greens split the centre/left vote.  It would be better if One Nation Tories could split the centre vote (and drag some of those on the right), but they don;t have a lot of influence in the current party. One particularly bonkers policy was one element of the Greens who wanted us out of Europe, not because of Europe being pro market/capitalism but because we needed a recession, deindustrialise, so we would all go back to the middle ages.  Or something along those lines.  I lost some friends because of this. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03y5trr#:~:text="Protectionism against developing countries%2C savage austerity in,the case for either remain or leave. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/08/eu-reform-green-brexit
    • I've planted a meadow out front, it needs a lot of work.  It's lovely until August and then grotty until the next spring as once the flowers have died back it doesn't have a lot going for it.  Clover is the last one to flower.  It will get admiring looks when in bloom. I laugh quite loud when I pass one neighbour with plastic grass, not only is it dead to nature it is not even laid well,   I should be crying.  
    • Andy did a number of jobs for me and was very reasonably priced. He's very helpful, arrives on time, pays attention to detail and a nice man. I'll be using him again and recommending him to my friends.
