WCC Members can book a 'one-to-one' or group coaching session with Jaylan Crockett.

As well as coaching at Watlington, Jaylan also coaches for Middlesex CCC and is experienced in coaching a wide range of ages and abilities.

One hour sessions with an experienced coach normally cost £40 or more, but Jaylan has kindly agreed to charge WCC Members £15 per 50 minute session, which includes a proportion going back into the club.
