4 themed weeks this summer

Pick your week — or come to them all

Every camp runs Monday to Friday at Over Community Centre, with an extended day (8:30am – 5:30pm) available. Each week has its own theme, with fresh drills, games and challenges — so returning cricketers get something new every time.

27 – 31 July All-Rounder Foundations

Batting, bowling, fielding and keeping — every child sets their own personal targets on Monday and beats them by Friday.

10 – 14 August T20 Skills

Power hitting, death bowling and boundary fielding — the big-match skills every young cricketer wants to master.

17 – 21 August Take the Wicket

A bowling, fielding and wicketkeeping week — including specialist keeping coaching that very few junior camps offer.

24 – 28 August Tournament Week

A week-long competition with rotating teams — and everyone captains at least once. The perfect finale to the summer.

Every week stands alone. The daily rhythm is the same every week — skills coaching in the morning, match play in the afternoon, small groups, all abilities. No week builds on the last, so you can join for any week, whether it's your first camp or your fourth.

A day at camp

More cricket, less standing around

Every session covers batting, bowling, fielding and wicketkeeping in small groups — then puts it all to work in match play and tournaments. Every child bats and bowls every day, not just the confident ones.

Extended day starts

For extended week bookings — supervised games while the group arrives.

Doors open

Standard day drop-off — ready for a 9:00 start.

Warm-up & fielding games

Everyone moving, mixing and touching the ball inside the first ten minutes.

Skills coaching

Batting, bowling and wicketkeeping technique in small groups, split by age and ability.

Lunch

On-site café for lunch and snacks, or bring a packed lunch from home.

Match play & tournaments

The morning's skills go into real games — teams stay together all week, and the tournament builds to a Friday final.

Awards & pick-up

Daily awards for skills, confidence and teamwork. Extended week bookings run until 5:30pm.

Your coach

Meet your coach

I'm Ben Kavanagh — ECB Level 2 Coach, Leicestershire Girls County Pathway Coach, Middlesex Community Coach, and Premier Division 1 cricketer for Histon CC.

I've played at county level with Warwickshire and Cambridgeshire, trained with the Warwickshire First XI, and received specialist coaching from Tymal Mills and Andre Nel. I bring that experience into every session I deliver.

Alongside coaching, I work as a Teaching Assistant at a Cambridgeshire SEND school. Every child I coach gets the same patience, attention, and individual care I bring to that role every day.

This summer I'm running four themed weeks of specialist cricket coaching at Over Community Centre for boys and girls aged 8 to 14 — limited to 16 places per week. Fully coached, fully safeguarded, and a lot of fun.

Beyond camp

1:1 & small group coaching

Want to build on a camp week — or work on something specific? Ben coaches junior cricketers individually and in small groups of up to four, with every session built around the player in front of him. Sessions run at facilities in several of the villages north of Cambridge, or Ben can travel to a venue you arrange for a flat £15 per session.

Families book 1:1 coaching for all sorts of reasons — making the step up to hard ball, pushing for club selection, preparing for county age-group trials, fixing a technical habit that's crept in, or simply because their child loves cricket and wants more of it. Whatever the goal, the first session starts with where the player is now — and unlike camp weeks, every session builds on the last.
