We plan for a maximum coach:player ratio of around 1:7, which typically means a ratio closer to 1:5 on average across all sessions.

Team managers

Junior cricket at all clubs relies on parents to organise, umpire, score and so on. We ideally have around 4-5 parents involved per squad, so that there can be rotation and cover for holidays, illness, etc. If you're not sure how to do any of those things, we can of course show you the ropes, and most parents get the hand of it all very quickly.

If you are from another club and are looking to arrange friendly matches, you can find contacts for individual squads on the SMCC area on Play Cricket. These contacts are updated each year (Surrrey Junior Championship requirement).

What do our (volunteer) Team Managers do?

A lot! Team managers are parents who volunteer their time to organising everything necessary to make matches happen. Please show your appreciation for the many unpaid hours that all of our volunteers put in every week, treat them with respect, and offer to help.

We are looking for more parents to get involved. Please contact us on smcccolts@gmail.com or talk to us at training.
