In order to maintain the number of players progressing through the system and to provide development opportunities for those who show promise, the SCB runs winter trials before the squads are selected. Those eligible for trials for Shropshire Cricket Board youth teams are:

• Players who play for a Shropshire based cricket club • Players who go to school in Shropshire • Players who live in Shropshire. Nomination forms for the 2011 winter trials can be found in the Download section of this page. - (TOP)

Winter training squads usually commence in the first few weeks of January. The purpose of these squads is to develop players holistically as cricketers, to improve skills that already exist and develop new skills that will allow them to compete to a higher standard.

Programmes usually consist of 10-12 sessions (dependant on which squad) lasting 2 hours. Sessions will be broken down into warm-up followed by a number of activities designed to improve fundamental skills as well as technical, tactical and physical skills involved in playing cricket. Squad members will benefit from the presence of highly qualified coaches who will be able to provide effective technical feedback to support their development as all-round players. - (TOP)
