The number of people on the course depends on the age and type of session. Please see the table below for the maximum numbers for each age group.

For a course that is fully subscribed, there will be four coaches allocated per session.

Participants on the older age groups (Year 3 and above) are encouraged to wear cricket whites if they have them but can also wear any cricket training kit they have as well as trainers suitable for indoors.

For the younger age groups (Year 2 and below) participants can wear cricket whites if they have them but should ensure that they are in clothing that is comfortable for physical activity as well as trainers suitable for indoors.
 

Participants in Year 5 and above will need full protective cricket equipment including pads, gloves, a box, a bat and a helmet as well as a hard cricket ball.

Participants on the Year 4 and below do not need to bring protective equipment with them as all equipment will be provided. If participants wish to bring their own bat then that is encouraged.
 

The weather will not affect the courses as they are all run inside the Lord's Performance Centre.

Lunch is not provided on the courses, however, there is a café in the Lord's Performance Centre where food and drinks can be purchased. Participants can also bring their own packed lunch, snacks and drinks if they wish. Participants should bring a bottle of water with them with water fountains in the Lord's Performance Centre to fill these up throughout the sessions.

Participants should arrive 10 minutes before the session to register at the reception of the Lord's Performance Centre. Please also ensure that if your child has any allergies, ailments and/or requires any medication that you inform the Lord's Performance Centre reception and leave anything that he or she may require during the Course with one of MCC’s representatives.

Finally, please ensure that your child is picked up from the Lord's Performance Centre at the end of the Course. MCC accepts no responsibility for supervision of any children following the conclusion of the Course.
