The process of registration for the Blackheath junior section in 2025 depends on whether your child was a member in 2024, or whether they wish to join for the first time in 2025. The process for each is explained below.
Whichever applies to you, you can find information about membership in the new season (including the winter training programme where applicable), see the Boys, Girls and Minis pages of the website.
Those who were members in 2024
As usual, registration for 2025 began with an existing members’ priority window, which this year ended on Saturday 4th January 2025. If your child was a member last year and you didn't re-register them by that date it may still be possible to do so depending on the squad, but we can't now guarantee a spot as the process of offering places to those on waiting lists has started.
If you are in this position, please get in touch as soon as possible (email Nick Harrison at nharrison@serlecourt.co.uk) and we'll still fit you in if we can. If there is still space, the procedure for re-registering is as set out below. At the time of writing, you can still also sign up for winter training: see the last section of this post.
Procedure for re-registering an existing member
Registration is done online from the club website and can be done on your pc, tablet or smartphone. Go to blackheathcricket.com, click on “Members” and enter the Username (or email address) and Password you used last year. If you’ve forgotten, follow the prompts to reset your Password. This will take you to your personal Dashboard, where you should select the child you want to re-register under “Your Family” and follow the prompts.
You will find that all the information that you input last year is still stored, so the process should be very quick. However, we ask you to review the information we hold for you, make sure the details are correct and give the necessary consents. Please remember that your registration is not complete until payment has been made.
Adding a child to the waiting list
If you have a child who is an existing member, but would like to sign up a sibling for the first time, this has to be done through the waiting list: log in as above, click on “Add Your Child” and follow the prompts.
Joining for the first time in 2025
Those already on our waiting lists
Since the end of the existing members priority registration period on Saturday 4th January 2025, the process of offering places to those on waiting lists has been underway. If you are already on our waiting list, please look out for one of our offer emails - in some cases this may take a little time as we work down the waiting list. If you are hoping for an offer and have not received one, please check your spam filter before getting in touch.
We ask that any offer is taken up within 14 days of the date of the offer, however it helps us greatly if everyone responds to the offer as quickly as they can, either by proceeding to register straight away or by letting us know that they will not be taking it up. If you are no longer interested in a place, please let us know so we can remove you from our list.
Joining the appropriate waiting list if you are new to the club
If you’re new to the club and your child is not currently on any of our waiting lists, putting their name on the appropriate list is very straightforward: just click on this link and follow the prompts. You should get an immediate acknowledgment email, and this will be followed by an offer of a place if one is available immediately (or as soon as one becomes available).
Winter training
Starting in January, there is a new winter training programme for all boys and girls in the U8 and older age groups, at range of different venues. All sessions will be run by either Chris Poil (U15 boys) Sharon Eyers (girls) or members of the Matchfit team of professional coaches (other boys’ squads), and are mostly on Friday evenings: see the winter coaching page of the website for a summary of all the sessions.
If you would like to sign up for these sessions then, once you have re-registered for 2025, go to the relevant page of the website (Boys or Girls) click on the link for the sessions you want to book at the bottom of the page and follow the prompts. Because of limited availability of suitable indoor facilities, numbers for each junior winter coaching session are limited to an average of 12 per squad, which will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
Individual or 1:2 training is also available throughout the winter, including during the Christmas holidays. Those interested in this should contact Danny or Ronny Harrison danny@matchfitacademy.com or ronny@matchfitacademy.com).
