We have a thriving junior section at Carlton, the success of which is shown by the number of children introduced to the game and by the number of Carlton juniors who have progressed into the senior Carlton teams and into district and national sides at both junior and senior levels.

The club runs junior sides at Under 11, under 13 and under 15 levels. Junior members must be under 18 on 1st September of the preceding year.

If you would like any further details about the junior section at Carlton, please contact John Boyd on 0131 258 3090 or email juniors@carltoncc.co.uk.

Carlton Juniors are very grateful to our sponsors, leading Marketing & Communications company Multiply:

Our juniors regularly feature in Scottish and East junior representative teams. The club was rightly proud when Fraser Watts became the first Carlton junior to graduate from the Carlton Under 11's through to the full Scotland team in 1998.

Carlton has been a driving force in the development of junior cricket in the East of Scotland in ecent years. Indeed, a commitment to junior cricket is now a pre-requisite for membership of the Scottish National Cricket League, with member clubs required to participate in the TOPClub scheme, providing coaching and matches to develop junior cricketers - the life-blood of the game in Scotland in the decades to come. Carlton 's age-group sides (Under 10, Under 11, Under 13 and Under 15) have all achieved success. However, equally important is the role of introducing children to cricket, ensuring they enjoy the game and benefit from quality instruction from Carlton's qualified coaching team.

The fruits of this policy can be seen in a number of ways; the success that the junior teams have enjoyed, the promotion of so many Carlton juniors to district and national age-group sides and the successful integration of the 'older' junior members into the club's adult sides.

During 2009 no less than 27 players under the age of 18 played for one of our four senior league sides. 'If they're good enough, they're old enough' isn't a bad adage.
