Similar coaching and training sessions are held on Sunday mornings and weekday evenings for the remaining under 12's to under 17's age groups.
Currently we have over 150 members, 90 of whom regularly attend on Saturday mornings, this number has been increasing as we have improved our facilities. In recent years we have provided a new surface for the outdoor nets and purchased a wheel away net cage with the aid of a grant from the Nottinghamshire Community Foundation.
Plumtree Cricket Club also organise winter coaching in the nets at Trent Bridge Cricket Ground on Sunday afternoons from February to April.
COLTS TEAMS
Plumtree enter teams in the Nottingham Junior and Youth Cricket League at under 11,12,13,14 and 15 age groups. The under 17 team now plays in The Melton Times Belvoir Cricket League. The under 11 also play in the very popular 'KWIK CRICKET' tournament played throughout the summer on Sunday mornings.
Teams are also entered into the 6-aside under 13 indoor competition held at Bingham Leisure Centre during the winter months on Sunday afternoons.
