Invitation only. The most advanced tier of the Cricket Tikes programme.
Led personally by Jason Moore, ECB Advanced Level 3 Coach and Middlesex Scout, with small groups receiving his undivided attention. Mark Ramprakash MBE, our Ambassador, visits Academy sessions to work with the players and offer his guidance. Our own BOLA Junior bowling machine with ball feeder and remote control allows unparalleled coaching focus where it matters.
Hardball transition, match-scenario training, individual batting and bowling analysis informed by detailed player data, and the preparation needed for competitive club cricket and county pathways.
Every invitation is backed by documented observations across six criteria: physical capability, cognitive readiness, emotional maturity, coachability, safety, and potential.
Players must provide their own full safety kit: helmet with rear guard, batting pads, batting gloves, and a box. We supply all training aids including bats, balls, stumps, and bowling machine. Gray-Nicolls Academy partnership gives families 25% off equipment — we take nothing.
50+ graduates in competitive club cricket. 12 county pathway placements through Middlesex. Zero overuse injuries in nine years.

This class is covered by a regular payment every month.
Subscription: Cricket Tikes operates a monthly membership plan that conveniently spreads the cost of all weekly classes throughout the year (excluding camps and special events). Payments are taken via direct debit on the 1st of every month, including school holiday months where no sessions take place — this keeps costs consistent and affordable year-round.
As long as you maintain your payments, your regular class fees are covered and you will be automatically rebooked into the next term without needing to re-enter payment details.
We operate three terms a year, usually 8–10 weeks long, mirroring school terms as closely as possible. Term dates are confirmed at the end of the previous term.
Cancellation requires one term's notice in writing (via email to bookings@crickettikes.co.uk). Without notice, the subscription reverts to per-class rates (£17 standard / £27 Academy) for all classes operated during the term in which cancellation occurs, plus a cancellation charge equivalent to one full month's subscription fee at the rate applicable at the time of cancellation (full details: https://crickettikes.classforkids.io/terms-and-conditions).
The £30 setup fee includes a Cricket Tikes polo shirt. Multi-child and multi-class discounts available — contact us for details.
