Training & Nets

Indoor nets for 2012 begin on Sunday January 8th, 4.30-7pm, and will run every Sunday until the end of April.

Outdoor nets will begin in early May, and will normally be on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-8pm.

Notes: Weather dependent. No training can take place without authorisation from SES staff.

Please park bikes in the racks, do not bring them onto the pitches. Trainers/Spikes. Black/Blue Tracksuit or Whites, White training shirt or Match Shirt.

Please remember we are very much on view to our sponsors (St Edward’s) and the image of the club and our members is important to this relationship.

There may be matches taking place on certain afternoons. Please respect batsmen who are warming up, or any coaching that is in progress by leaving a clear lane between the respective nets.

Be aware St Edward’s pupils use the upper fields for recreation until 19.30 hence take care when batting in the nets. Do not allow any St Edward’s pupil to bat in a net without wearing the correct protection including a helmet.

Nets Safety

Warm up before your train!

Check nets for damage before starting to bat each time a new batsman enters.

Watch the nets at all times do not turn your back including walking back from bowling!

Use a bat to retrieve balls in the side netting, or hold side netting back to protect your head when bending down.

Batsmen should make sure no spent balls are on the mat before another ball is bowled

Do not bowl until the previous bowler is out of the net and the batsman is ready

Wear protective equipment when batting in nets.

Be aware of others when batting, no unannounced slogging practice!

Please remember:

Always do your best to offer quality training to others.

Help at the beginning and end of sessions with setting up and putting away equipment, many hands make light work……….

Please observe any requests or queries by St Edward’s staff politely and quickly.
