Junior matches
Juniors in Year 4 (U9s) and above can play competitive matches in the Herts Junior League. Seventeen teams have been entered this season across a variety of age groups ranging from U9s all the way up to the U15s.
Please note, Juniors are only eligible to play in these matches once membership has been paid for the season.
As always, we would like to say a huge thank you to all of the Managers/Organisers of these teams who give up their precious time to give young people the opportunity to enjoy and play cricket in a competitive environment.

Girls cricket
Girls cricket at TPCC is flourishing and we have entered four teams into the Herts Girls league this season, covering the U11, U13 and U15 age groups. It is also great to see the girls playing in the mixed junior and adult teams.
Our 'girls only' training sessions are on a Tuesday night for those in school year 4 and above and are well attended. Girls can also attend the training sessions of their respective school year.

Membership renewals
2026 membership will be available to purchase through the website from 1st March 2026. Please could we ask that you check all details are correct and filled-in for each junior member. This is incredibly important so please ensure all information is as up-to-date and complete as possible.
Early bird membership will be available at a cost of £110.00 for the first child and £100.00 for siblings. This will increase to £135.00 (£115.00 for siblings) from 1st May 2026 when the early bird window will expire.
We are offering the opportunity to split the cost of membership over two months, please see the website for further details.
It is vitally important that membership is paid promptly this season. Junior numbers are extremely high, with Friday nights being especially busy. To ensure your child gets a place at training, membership must be paid.
We are also delighted to announce that Junior parents will now get a free social membership with their child (please put both the child and parent details down when purchasing the membership).
This will be welcomed news for many parents, but we ask that you do support the club in any way that you can, be it purchasing drinks from the bar and/or attending the many social events we put on each year as a club.
Details of what social membership entitles you to can be found on the website and in the Pitchero app.
Please note that new membership cards are not reissued each year, the card you had last year will be updated once your membership has been paid. If you have lost your card, please email membership@tringcricket.co.uk

Friday nights
Whilst the behaviour of the vast majority of children on Friday nights last year was great, we did have some incidents whereby children were not properly supervised by parents when they were not training. When children are not training they are the responsibility of the parents. As you can imagine, some of this behaviour is not only dangerous, but could cause damage to the grounds and facilities. We urge parents to keep an eye on their children at all times whilst attending the club to avoid a reoccurence of some of the issues we had last year. We thank you in advance for your help in this matter.

Holiday Camps
Our Junior Head Coach, Chris Curry, will yet again be running cricket camps during Easter, Half Term and Summer holidays:
Easter:         14th-16th April 2026
May Half Term:   27th-28th May 2026
Summer:         28th-30th July, 11th-13th Aug & 25th-27th Aug 2026       
**All camps will run from 10.00am to 3.00pm**
Further details will be sent out via Pitchero and the 'Six4Six' mailing lists nearer the time.

1-to-1 and Small Group Coaching
Chris also offers '1-to-1' or small group coaching throughout the season to players at U8s and above. There will be some availability in late Feb/March before the season starts.
If you would like some more information about the 1-2-1 coaching or holiday camps please don't hesitate to contact Chris directly at chris@six4six.co.uk

Social events at TPCC
Greg Burns has been busy organising a plethora of social events at the cricket club for the year ahead. From family bingo, to quizzes, to race nights & live bands there is something for everybody to enjoy (along with plenty of social cricket obviously!).

For more information, please contact Greg at social@tringcricket.co.uk or visit the website directly Social Events 2026.

Volunteers
The club cannot function without its volunteers and there are a number of vacant roles within the committee that need filling.
If there are any parents or guardians out there who feel they'd be in a position to help out and contribute to the smooth running of the club, please reach out to our Chairman Andy Grout at chairman@tringcricket.co.uk who will be more than happy to provide further info.
