Youth Programme
Oakham Cricket Club having obtained the Sport England Clubmark Accreditation is now recognised by Sport England, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and the Leicestershire and Rutland Cricket Board as a safe, effective child-friendly club.
The Clubmark Accreditation sets the entry level for a network of cricket clubs providing quality cricket programmes for young people. In addition the club is further recognised for its programme with schools; its coaching and competition programmes; and its development programme for talented players.
The Club is also recognised by these bodies as an ECB Focus Club. A Focus Club is one that has been identified (by the ECB) for a clear strategic reason, and one that is committed to long-term junior development. In 2008, Oakham Cricket Club will be the only Chance to Shine cricket club in Rutland. This ECB initiative will see Oakham Cricket Club invest 280 hours of cricket training amongst a cluster of local state schools within the local community.
Therefore the club is pursuing its policy of actively developing youth cricket within the local community, and presently running the following sessions at the Lime Kilns Brooke Road ground:
