Our junior section has grown from strength to strength over the years and now with our facility complete with outdoor nets we are really looking forward to seeing our juniors develop. Cricket everyday of the week with opportunities to play as many games as possible.
What we offer –

“All Stars Cricket” provides a fantastic first experience for all children aged 5-8 years old where they’re guaranteed 8 weeks of jam-packed fun, activity and skills development. The programme is designed to introduce children to the sport, teaching them new skills, helping them make new friends and have a great time doing so.
Every child that registers will receive a backpack full of goodies. Your child’s pack will include:
Backpack
Cricket bat
Cricket ball
Personalised shirt with your child’s name
Early sign-ups will also receive a cap
All children returning to All Stars will receive a new ball, a personalised t-shirt and a set of stumps.

“Dynamos Cricket” provides a fantastic next step for all those graduating from All Stars Cricket and the perfect introduction for all 8-11 year-olds new to the sport!
Complementing junior cricket, Dynamos provides children with a more social offer focused on developing fundamental movement skills and applying them in an exciting game of countdown cricket.

ERCC Junior Convenor Report
Season 2020 09/10/2020
Dear Members
Firstly, I hope you and your families are healthy and safe.
Sadly, there was not much junior cricket due to the COVID-19 pandemic and it was limited to u12’s following Cricket Scotland and Scottish Government guidelines. Indoor junior training at the Foundry was cut short and we finished late March 2020, we were due to return after the Easter break, however, little did we know at that point there would be zero cricket until early August 2020.
The only activity that took place was for U12’s training and inter team matches which the children enjoyed until late September as we felt it was important to keep the season going for as long as possible. Participant numbers were strong; however, I did notice several regulars not attending. There was next to no cricket for the other age groups and at the time of writing this very short report I feel we mat have lost some of them too.
I hope and pray for better to come for next year all subject the virus being controlled and ERCC operating a safe venue adhering to guidelines.
All the best
Ammar Ashraf
Junior Convenor
