Thornbury Cricket Club enjoys a fantastic reputation for its youth section. We are attributed as a ‘Focus’ club by the English Cricket Board and are regarded as a centre of excellence for cricket in our local community.
Our club is represented in the Bristol Youth League and regional cup competitions at all age group levels. Each squad is managed by a dedicated qualified coach and, critically, supported by parents. Whilst operating to the latest and highest standards of child safety and protection, we aim to cultivate an atmosphere which develops skills, promotes teamwork and above all, is fun to participate in. Membership is open to all, regardless of ability.
Many of our youth members progress to represent the county or the district league and are further encouraged to evolve into senior cricket at the club.
Each July, our club hosts a Kwik Cricket tournament between local community primary schools. This is preceded by introductory coaching sessions held at each school.
Winter coaching takes place for each age group at the indoor Castle school sports centre. These sessions are run by all our coaches and are well attended from early November through late March.
All general enquiries should be directed through Howard Marshall on the number below or e-mail youth@thornburycc.co.uk.

THORNBURY GIRLS CRICKET
Girls cricket has been very active within the general development of Thornbury Cricket Club over the past few years.
Girls have featured in youth and senior sides in the past and the club are very keen to provide the support required for any female members to pursue an increasingly popular sport.
To provide the widest opportunities for women and girls to develop their cricketing skills, the Club’s female section has joined forces with similar sections of the Shirehampton and Chipping Sodbury Cricket Clubs.
This newly formed club, called Bristol Phoenix CC, has two senior sides and three junior sides, the latter playing in the Bristol Youth League. For more details about Bristol phoenix CC and women and girls’ cricket in general, contact Mike Collett on 07778 195488 or visit the web link below.
