Our emphasis at Finchley is on inclusion and fun and we offer every level of junior cricket for boys and girls of all ages and abilities, from six-year-olds to seventeen-year-olds, with a pathway into adult cricket. Throughout this age spectrum, we range from beginners to junior cricketers participating in county and London Schools squads; and we were proud winners in 2021 of both the under 17 and under 19 Middlesex cups.

Please do come and join us – not just for the cricket but for our special family atmosphere. We love our junior cricketers to see the club as something of a second home, and we look forward to a season of cricket fun, development and friendship.

Please see below key 2022 season information on our training and practice arrangements; our age group squads, age group managers and age group fixtures; our one-to-one coaching offering; our registration/payment arrangements; and our 2022 cricket camp plans. Great if you would like to sign up as soon as possible!
