Wimbledon Corinthians is a members’ club that welcomes players of all backgrounds, ages and abilities to enjoy the fellowship of playing cricket together.
We uphold the traditional values of cricket and embrace the spirit of the game, while building sporting relationships with other clubs and drawing on the whole-life enjoyment of playing together as a team.
FAQs
Does the Club provide any equipment?
Yes, part of the membership fee and match fee goes towards providing a club kit bag for the team. The kit bag contains all the necessary gear required to play at our level including pads and bats. The club doesn’t currently provide helmets so players will need to buy their own should they wish to wear one.
Do I need to purchase cricket whites?
Yes. Club policy is for all members to wear cricket whites during play. We do also expect players to invest in appropriate footwear such as cricket boots. This need not be an expensive purchase as suitable clothing is readily available from sports stores on the high street or Internet at modest prices.
Will I get a chance to bat or bowl in my first match?
The captain on the day will endeavour to involve potential members at the earliest opportunity whilst still ensuring the correct match strategy is being followed at that particular time.
How do I go about getting selected for a game?
Normally the best way to get selected is to sign up to the club mailing list which would keep you informed of forthcoming fixtures.
Team captains usually send out an email on Monday of the week of the game asking for players to make their availability be known. The deadline for players to confirm their availability via e-mail is Tuesday 5pm, after which players may not get priority selection.
As a new player, the captain may not be aware of where your playing strength lies when picking a balanced team (i.e. are you a better batter or bowler?) so feel free to communicate this to the captain.
On the day of the match, all new players should arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the start and introduce themselves to the captain.
