Wicket Keeping Skill Zones

We are delighted to announce the return of the Wicket-Keeping Skill Zones programme which has been such a success in developing Bucks Wicket-Keepers over the past 4 years.

We will be focussing on all aspects of wicket keeping to enhance our keepers and standard of wicket-keeping in Bucks. Coaches will deliver sessions that include: Standing up and back, vs pace and spin, taking catches, diving and stumpings.

Group	Skill Zone	Day	Dates	Address	Start Time	End Time	Price
Boys & Girls U10-13	4 weeks - Wicket Keeping	Saturdays	8/11, 15/11, 22/11, 29/11	Aylesbury Grammar School, Walton Rd, HP21 7RP	09:00	11:00	£45.00
Boys & Girls U13-16	4 weeks - Wicket Keeping	Saturdays	8/11, 15/11, 22/11, 29/11	Aylesbury Grammar School, Walton Rd, HP21 7RP	11:00	13:00	£45.00

We have received a generous donation in memory of Jeremy Suter from the Beaconsfield CC 6-a-side competition to support upcoming wicket-keepers, subsidising the course to reduce the 4-week course cost to £45 per wicket-keeper.
