Cricket Parties - Frequently Asked Questions

What will the children do at the party?

Each party is tailored to the age and experience of the children. Our coach will call you to discuss what things might be included at your party.

My child really wants a cricket party but has never played before, is that ok?  We have run plenty of parties like this and we have some excellent games with the bat and ball to get them hooked!

Is it ok to have a mixture of boys and girls?
Yes, no problem.

How many children can I invite?  
Between 10 to 20 children is the ideal amount but we can accommodate more or less.
 
Where can I have the party?  Parties can be held inside or outside. Ideal venues are leisure centres, school halls, school fields or other sports field, such as your local park. Visit our venues page for some ideas. As a rule the venue itself should be no smaller than the size of a tennis court (approx 11m x 23m) but the bigger the better! We recommend that parties from November to March are held inside due to the weather. It’s advisable, but not essential, to have a back up indoor venue if booking outside in case of rain.

What do I need to book?
If you are holding the party in an indoor venue, you just need to book hire of the hall and an area to have your party food afterwards. Most venues will have their own catering for this, if you would like it.

Venues such as leisure centres and sports centres typcially run their own childrens parties too but rarely cricket parties and never with qualified cricket coaches so please be aware that they may try to offer you one of their parties instead.

Will I need to provide any equipment? 

Our coach will provide all the equipment for the party.

How do I know my coach will be good?
All of our lead party coaches hold Level 2 coaching certificates and are currently teaching in schools during the school term. They have a vast knowledge of their sport and know a lot of fun cricket games to play at the party.

Are the coaches CRB checked? 
All of our coaches have an up to date CRB and also have first aid and safeguarding certificates.

Are you insured?
Yes, we have our own company insurance and we are happy to email documents to venues if they require it.

Do you do party invites?
Yes party invites and certificates for all the children are included in the price.

I’ve booked my party, what now?  
Once a deposit/full amount has been paid we will post your birthday invitations and certificates. The coach will call you one week before to discuss the party in detail.

What happens if I need to cancel?  
Unfortunately the deposit is non-refundable. We can postpone the party if necessary but any new date will be subject to coach availability.

How can I pay for my booking?
You can pay by debit /credit card through PayPal or by cheque.
