Our Activity Camps run on selected dates throughout the year, with specialised activities catered to older children in Year 6 to Year 9.
Cricket Camp – Monday 7 and Tuesday 8 April 10:00-14:00
Camp details: Come and join our long-anticipated Royal Russell Cricket Camp. Our dynamic sessions are designed to promote physical development and enhance cricket-specific skills under the expert guidance of our coach Dan Udall. Players will receive high quality net coaching, hardball sessions, fielding sessions and conditioned games that not only refine technique but also sharpen tactical awareness. As this course will be delivered using hard balls, protective equipment is required, and please note that we cannot provide this for all. The full list of protective equipment is a batting helmet, pads, gloves, and an abdominal protector. If your child has their own cricket bat, please could this be brought along. We may have some items that can be borrowed if you are not able to source it all.
