Princes Risborough Cricket Club - Colts Section

2006		Welfare
The Club will once again be running junior cricket during the 2006 season following the success of the colts section last year. Owing to the need to have a full side with the right age qualifications it's unlikely that we will be entering a side to play competitive cricket in the Under-11 or Under-13 county leagues this year. However we shall be arranging friendly matches at all suitable levels - there are several clubs in the area in a similar position and we are confident that there will be no lack of suitable fixtures. When? - every Wednesday evening What time? - be ready at 6:00 pm Where? - at the PRCC ground Cost? - £25 to cover Junior Section membership and summer coaching. There is also a small match fee: click here for details		We take the welfare of our juniors seriously and are working towards the ECB 'ClubMark' standard. An important part of that package is for us to adopt a model Child Welfare policy - consequently we do not show images of our juniors on the Internet. Another part of the standard is for coaches to be vetted to similar standards to those in place for schools and for checks on assistants. We will also take action to ensure that suitable safeguards are in place for transport to away matches. Checks on our organiser, Chairman and our qualified coaches have been made in accordance with ECB welfare guidelines (see our Welfare section).
