Millfield Sport
Cricket
Who can take part?
Millfield is one of the finest cricketing schools in the UK, known not only for our exceptional achievements but also for our ability to cater for pupils of all abilities. 14 teams are in active competition against schools across the region, including a girls’ XI team which recently played the MCC ladies’ team. Everyone is given the opportunity to play cricket at Millfield.
Our balanced fixture list provides high standard matches for experienced senior players (regularly playing university, county academy and touring sides), whilst our Junior Leagues Programme introduces pupils to the basic skills of the game. Many Millfieldians go on to play at county level, and the School can count among its alumni David Graveney and England stars Simon Jones and Ben Hollioake.
What's involved?
Led by Head Coach Mark Davis, himself a former Somerset player, cricketers undertake a varied training programme that includes net sessions, fielding sessions and match scenarios. A Winter training programme is also offered for elite players, with an emphasis on technique.
The School also competes in a number of tournaments for different age groups, including the County Cup, the Schools 20/20 Competition and three National Competitions.
