Winter Coaching Programme to return for 2026

Following the successful running of last year’s winter coaching programme, Leicestershire County Cricket Club will once again be running a winter coaching programme this coming winter. The Running Foxes Winter Coaching Programme is designed to offer boys and girls across Leicestershire and Rutland 18-weeks of coaching to help fulfil their individual potential by offering a winter programme that complements their club cricket. The programme involves weekly hard ball cricket sessions at training centres across the county for U11, U13, U15 and U19 age groups and will run across the winter from November 2025“ March 2026.  The aim of the winter programme is to provide coaching to players of all abilities throughout the winter and allow them to perform more consistently by having set targets based upon Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) deemed appropriate for each age group.  More information about the programme, the process and costs are included in the attached information sheet.

Please could you forward this onto any parents and players that you think might be interested in taking part in this programme and improving their cricket. Please note that by attending the Running Foxes Winter Coaching Programme players will not automatically be nominated to attend trials for the respective Boys or County Age Group Programmes. Nominations for these trials will be sent separately to clubs asking to nominate players they feel may meet the required standard for these programmes.

All players that are interested in taking part in the winter coaching programme, please complete the expression of interest online form using the link below. This will give us an indication of the number of players that would like to take part and allow us to allocate suitable venues and sessions to specific age groups to meet the needs of the group. Once we have this information, we will then send out details of the session that has been allocated to players, as in previous years, with a link to a booking and payment site.
