THE
WIMBLEDON
CLUB
The Wimbledon Club is a multisports club
in the heart of Wimbledon Village, with
separate sections for squash, tennis, cricket,
hockey and a gym.
The Club facilities include a first floor bar
and restaurant, with balconies overlooking
the tennis courts and cricket pitch,
extensive changing rooms and shower
facilities. The Club is committee led with
the cricket programme and coaches being
managed by the Cricket Director.
The junior cricket programme is hugely
successful with around 70 boys in each
of the U5 – U15 age groups. Our girls
programme is going from strength
to strength and now offers cricket to
U5 – U15 as well.

MEET JONATHAN SPELLER
CRICKET DIRECTOR
Jonathan Speller has spent his life playing and coaching
cricket as well as managing clubs within the cricket industry.
Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, Jonathan became
a passionate fast bowler. From the age of 14 he played
in Premier First XIs and represented his province, before
enrolling for a BCom Industrial Psychology degree at the
University of Johannesburg.
Leaving SA for England in 2008, Jonathan found himself
at Church Road within 24 hours of his arrival in London
and The Wimbledon Club became his new adopted home.
Having played for 3 seasons, Jonathan moved to Banstead to aid in the development
of their Colt section as Assistant Head Coach under the legendary Ali Jaffer.
For the 2016-17 and 2017-18 seasons, Jonathan headed up the coaching and
playing operation at Spencer Cricket Club as Director of Cricket, but now feels back
at ‘home’ having re-joined The Wimbledon Club as the Director of Cricket in 2018.
Jonathan has a passion for teaching and coaching the game. His coaching ethos is
built around encouraging and motivating children to challenge themselves at all levels.
Jonathan is determined to build a learning environment during training sessions that
promotes achievement and high attainment levels for each of our junior members
as they advance along their learning journey from the Beginner level to Mastery.

IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
PARKING
Cricketers parking is on Church Road, where parents are able to walk in to drop
off and collect their children. (It is not possible for junior cricketers and their parents to
park inside the club grounds as there is not enough space). Children must be collected
from the area in front of the club house where they will be with the coaches until
parents arrive. It should also be noted that only adult club members are allowed to
park in the car park area from the nets to the Club house. All parents are of course
welcome to stay during the training session – the bar area will be open as normal.
At all locations please ensure that dogs are kept on leads at all times.
Please do not walk across the cricket square at any time.
WET WEATHER
Despite our best efforts we are not able to control the weather! As a result occasionally
we have had to cancel all junior cricket. We make every effort to leave this decision as
late as possible on a week day evening or Sunday morning in the hope that we do not
need to cancel.
Since we cannot ring, or answer calls from over 700 participants, we have put some
procedures in place so you can check if cricket is on.
WEEKDAY EVENING TRAINING AT THE CLUB
A decision will be made by 5pm and if the session is cancelled an email will be sent
to the relevant age groups.
SUNDAY MORNING SESSIONS AT THE CLUB
A decision will be made by 8.30am and if the session is cancelled an email will be
sent to the relevant age groups.
CLUB MATCHES – HOME OR AWAY
If you are due to play for one of the teams then your match Manager will contact you
as soon as he is advised of any decision. Please contact him direct if you are unsure.
WET WEATHER ONCE SESSIONS HAVE STARTED
We have no indoor cricket facilities at any of the venues. All players will remain
in the clubhouses/pavilions of the relevant Club, or ground until they are collected.
WIMBLEDON FORTNIGHT
During Wimbledon fortnight, no cricket takes place at The Wimbledon Club. Please keep
an eye out for emails closer to the time explaining what happens during this period.
