“You don’t know what you might be good at until you try.”Coach Rom

From a 10-year-old boy in Sri Lanka who couldn’t swim but wanted to dive, to representing Sri Lanka in diving, rediscovering his childhood passion for cricket and now coaching athletes from five-year-old beginners through to senior club players, Romesh’s journey is built around one simple belief:

Give people the opportunity to try — then help them believe in what they can become.

Hall & Lane Hire fees

Flat for everyone, member or non-member — never discounted. ROM Sports isn't VAT-registered: the fee is the hall's charge, including the hall's own VAT, passed on at cost. The hall fee depends on the number of players: 1–2 players use one net lane (1:1, 2:1, Family Fun pairs and Family Fun groups of 2); 3–8 players use half the sports hall (Group coaching and Family Fun groups of 3–8, shared by the group); birthday parties use the full hall. Cancelling: the hall fee is refundable only with 5 days' notice or more, and is non-refundable on a booking made less than 5 days before the session — the school needs 5 days' notice to cancel the hall.

Cricket, camps & coaching — questions

Where do I find programme dates and times?

Full programme dates and times are shown on the homepage and above, under Cricket → Cricket Coaching.

What is County Trial Ready?

A future 1:1 coaching option for players working toward county trials, delivered by specialist coaches. This is coming soon — pricing will be confirmed closer to launch.

How do I add extras like the bowling machine to my booking, and can I select multiple sessions at once?

Tick the relevant add-on box on the booking page — no need to leave the page. You can also select several sessions in one go for a bulk booking, and deselect anything you no longer want, either on the booking page or in your basket before checkout.

What do I need to bring to summer camp?

A packed lunch and snacks, a refillable water bottle, cricket kit if you have it, suitable sports clothing plus a change of clothes, sunblock applied before arrival and a cap, and any necessary medication. Please label all belongings and leave valuables at home. Standard camp runs 9:30am–3:30pm, with early drop-off from 8:30am and late pick-up until 4pm, each £5/day.

Do members get a discount on cricket camps?

Yes — Bronze 5%, Silver 7.5%, Gold 10%, Platinum 12.5% off the non-member price (£45 for one day, £80 for two), whether you hold a Winter or a Full-Year membership. This is the same discount schedule used for our merchandise discount.

When are holiday camps?

Next season: school half-term weeks and the summer holidays. Dates will be on the booking page.

What's the camp cancellation policy?

48+ hours' notice: full refund or credit toward a future booking. Less than 48 hours: 50% of the fee, plus the full £15 indoor hall hire fee for indoor camps.

What's the cancellation policy for private 1:1/2:1 coaching?

Indoor (with a hall fee): 5 days or more before the session — full refund. Less than 5 days but more than 72 hours — the hall fee isn't refunded (the school needs 5 days' notice to cancel the hall), the coaching fee is refunded in full. 72 hours or less — the hall fee isn't refunded and 50% of the coaching fee is payable. Outdoor (no hall fee): 48+ hours, full refund; under 48 hours, 50% of the coaching fee. Same for Extra focus and Group.

What if I book an indoor session less than 5 days before?

You're very welcome to — but the hall has to be confirmed with the school straight away, so the hall fee (lane hire or half-hall hire) is charged in full and is non-refundable from the moment you book. The coaching fee follows the normal cancellation terms. The booking page shows this before you pay.

Is the private price per player?

1:1, 2:1 and Extra focus prices cover the whole session. Group coaching (3–8 players) is priced per player, plus one half-hall fee shared by the group. Book once and add each player's details.

What if my time is already booked?

Each private slot takes one booking. If it's taken, Coach Rom is told and will contact you — or pick another free slot.

What do members save — and what are bring-a-friend places?

One simple rule: members get Bronze 5%, Silver 7.5%, Gold 10% or Platinum 12.5% off private 1:1 and 2:1 coaching, group coaching, Family Fun, parties, camps and the Shop & Merchandise. The hall or lane fee is the hall's own charge and is never discounted; coaching prices are rounded down to the nearest 50p. Every level also includes bring-a-friend places every 4 weeks — Bronze 1, Silver 2, Gold 3, Platinum 4: a friend who is new to ROM Sports comes to a programme session free, with their parent or carer's permission (they can all come to the same session; one free visit per friend). Afterwards the friend, and the member's family, get 25% off drop-ins for 14 days from the friend's free session. Book it on the booking page as "Bring a friend". Members who joined before 3 October 2026 keep the discounts they joined with until their membership ends.

How does Bring a friend work?

Members can bring a friend who is new to ROM Sports to one of their programme sessions — the friend's first session is free. Book it on the booking page as "Bring a friend", using the email address on your membership, with your friend's details and their parent or carer's name and phone number (they need to agree to them coming).

How many friends can I bring?

Every 4 weeks: Bronze 1, Silver 2, Gold 3, Platinum 4 friends. They can all come to the same session if it has places. The 4 weeks run from your friend's session, and unused places don't carry over.

Who counts as a friend?

A child who is new to ROM Sports — not a member, and who hasn't booked, had a free trial or come as a friend before. Each child can have one free friend visit.

What do we get for bringing a friend?

A thank-you of £5 for every friend who comes. If your friend joins a membership within 30 days, you get a further £10 (Bronze), £12.50 (Silver), £15 (Gold) or £20 (Platinum). Monthly payers get it off their next monthly payment; otherwise it's credit off your next booking or kit order. We'll email you each time. It's credit only — no cash value.

Is there a discount after the friend's free visit?

Yes — for 14 days from the friend's free session, your friend and your family get 25% off pay-as-you-go drop-in sessions, and if your friend joins a membership within those 14 days they get £15 off. Two children who are both new to ROM Sports booking the same drop-in together also each get 25% off drop-ins for 14 days, counted from that first session. After that it's the normal drop-in price, unless they join a membership.

The booking page won't let me book a friend place — what now?

Tap "Send to Coach Rom" on the booking page. Coach Rom will look at it and email you whether he can approve it. Or send us an enquiry.

Are free trial places limited?

Yes — each session takes a set number of free trials, so the booking page only shows dates that still have a free trial place. If you can't see one that suits, book a pay-as-you-go drop-in or send us an enquiry.

How much is Group coaching?

3–8 players indoors on half the sports hall. 60 min: £22.50 per player + £36 half-hall hire with nets (3 players £103.50, 4 £126, 5 £148.50, 6 £171, 7 £193.50, 8 £216). 90 min: £33.75 per player + £54 half-hall hire with nets (3 players £155.25, 4 £189, 5 £222.75, 6 £256.50, 7 £290.25, 8 £324). The half-hall hire includes the hall's VAT. Outdoors in summer: £60 for the whole session, no hall fee. Each player who is an identified ROM Sports member (name and date of birth, or their RSP player number) pays their own level's price for their coaching: Bronze £21 / £32, Silver £20.50 / £31, Gold £20 / £30, Platinum £19.50 / £29.50 (60 / 90 min). Non-members pay £22.50 / £33.75. Example: 3 players for 60 min, one Gold member: £20 + £22.50 + £22.50 + £36 = £101. The hall fee is never discounted. 30-minute sessions (up to 2 players £25, or 1:1 skill builder £20, plus lane hire indoors) are by enquiry.

What is an Extra focus session?

A 90-minute private 1:1 or 2:1 — both cost the same: £65 outdoor or £87.50 indoor (including £22.50 lane hire) for non-members. Members pay less by tier: Bronze £62, Silver £60, Gold £57, Platinum £54 outdoor (£84.50, £82.50, £79.50, £76.50 indoor).

How much is sports massage, and how do I book?

30-minute targeted session: £35. 60-minute full session: £55. 60-minute deep tissue: £60. Injury & movement assessment: £65. Book by enquiry from the Sports Massage tile.

How do I book a sports massage?

Send an enquiry from the Sports Massage tile; Coach Rom will reply with available times.

What's the cancellation policy for sports massage?

48+ hours' notice: full refund. 24–48 hours: 50% charge. Under 24 hours: full payment for the missed session. If we need to cancel within 48 hours, you'll be offered 50% off your next booking.

What are ROM Sports membership numbers?

Every family gets a free family number (RSF-…) and every player their own player number (RSP-…). We use them to recognise members, so the right member price is applied, and for session registers. When you book, you can enter a player's number in their details; that also lets a member from another family get their own member price in your group. One number per child, even when two parents book.

How much are Family Fun sessions, and how do I book?

Pair (1–2, 30 min) £25; Group (2–8) 60 min £60 or 90 min £90. Each person who is an identified ROM Sports member gets their own level's discount on their own share of the session fee (Bronze 5%, Silver 7.5%, Gold 10%, Platinum 12.5%) — matched by first name, last name and date of birth, or by their player number (RSP-…). Non-members pay their full share. Indoors at Leventhorpe this winter the hall fee is added, including the hall's VAT and never discounted: pair £7.50; 2 people £15 / £22.50 (one net lane); 3–8 people £36 / £54 (half hall with nets) for 60 / 90 min. Bowling machine included. Book by enquiry — Coach Rom will offer the sessions available.

Family & Friends Fun cancellation?

Indoor: 5 days or more before — full refund or credit note; less than 5 days — the hall fee isn't refunded (session fee refunded down to 72 hours); 72 hours or less — hall fee kept and 50% of the session fee payable. Booked less than 5 days ahead, the hall fee is non-refundable. Outdoor: 48+ hours full refund or credit note; under 48 hours, 50% fee.

Can I add the bowling machine?

£10 (60 min) or £15 (90 min) with private coaching; included with camps and Family & Friends Fun. One machine.

Is the £15 hall fee discounted for members?

No — hall and lane hire fees are never discounted. They're the hall's fee including the hall's VAT (ROM Sports isn't VAT-registered).

Why does my indoor booking show lane hire?

It's the hall's own fee, passed on at cost. The hall charges VAT on it; ROM Sports isn't VAT-registered and adds no VAT of its own.

Can I use my Summer Development Credit for private coaching?

No — credits only cover Summer specialist sessions. Private 1:1, 2:1, Group and County Trial Ready coaching are separate, pay-as-you-go purchases.

Birthday party questions

How much are birthday parties, and how do I book?

Silver (1 hr, up to 15): £290 — £230 package + £60 full-hall hire (members £278.50 Bronze to £261 Platinum). Gold (1.5 hr, up to 20): £490 — £400 package + £90 full-hall hire (members £470 Bronze to £440 Platinum). Hall fees include the hall's VAT; members get their level's discount on the package (Bronze 5%, Silver 7.5%, Gold 10%, Platinum 12.5%), never the hall. Extra party room £75. Book online (Book now on the Silver or Gold card) or enquire with your preferred date; hall hire is the deposit, package 50% now or in full.

Is the hall hire fee refundable if the venue becomes unavailable?

The hall hire fee is always payable in full at the time of booking — this secures your slot as a deposit, subject to venue availability. If ROM Sports is unable to secure the hall for your chosen date, or can't offer an alternative that suits you, you'll be offered a full refund of the hall hire fee.

Do I need to clean up the room after a birthday party?

Room hire (£75) doesn't include cleaning. Please tidy up afterward — tables and chairs back in place, rubbish in the bins, surfaces wiped — so the room is ready for school use the next day. A £30 cleaning fee applies if the room needs extra cleaning.

What's the cancellation policy for birthday parties?

14+ days' notice: full refund. 7–13 days: refund of the package fee minus any trophies or merchandise already ordered, subject to the hall's terms. Under 7 days: the hall hire fee is payable in full and a £100 cancellation fee applies, with the remaining balance refunded.

  • Tiers differ on kit, credits, perks and priority only

Membership questions

What's the difference between winter and full-year membership?

Winter membership runs 1 October to 31 March and buys one winter programme - Mini Wickets, Junior Wickets or Girls Development - at the membership level you choose, with a ROM Sports T-shirt and cap included at every level and more kit as you go up. Full-year membership runs 1 October to 30 September and adds the summer side: Summer Development Credits, the full kit allocation, camp discounts, personalisation and booking priority. They're separate products, not two prices for the same thing.

What exactly is a Summer Development Credit?

One free place on an eligible ROM Sports summer specialist session. We publish the sessions available each summer, and each booking uses one credit. Bronze includes 1, Silver 2, Gold 4 and Platinum 6. The booking system only shows your child the sessions suitable for their age and ability. Credits can't be used for private 1:1/2:1/Group coaching, County Trial Ready, or camps.

Can I book a pay-as-you-go session in advance, or in bulk?

Yes — Winter and Summer drop-in sessions can be booked ahead, individually or in bulk. Each programme and session has a dedicated allocation of 10 pay-as-you-go spots, on top of member allocations, not simply leftover space.

Can I pay monthly, quarterly or annually?

For the full-year tiers, yes - monthly, quarterly or annually, and it makes no difference to what you get. The annual figure is exactly twelve monthly payments: no surcharge for spreading it, no discount for paying up front. Winter membership (18 weeks) is either six monthly instalments across the season, or the season paid in full — winter can't be spread over twelve months, that's a full-year-only option. Payment is always collected on the 1st of the month.

What if I join part-way through the season?

You're charged pro-rata for the sessions that are left, not the full monthly amount — never the ones that have already run. The booking page works it out from the real schedule and shows you the figure before you pay, then normal monthly billing on the 1st resumes from there. Your kit is the same as anyone else at that level. New subscriptions and tier upgrades are allowed at any point in the season.

When do I get my kit?

Kit is sent once a year, in one dispatch around September, at the start of the season. That lets us collect everyone's sizes and order together so every member gets a proper, complete annual kit package. Join mid-season and you'll receive your kit at that dispatch - we'll confirm timing when you join.

Can I upgrade mid-year?

Yes - and we'd encourage it, at any time. Your new tier's benefits - booking priority, camp discount, personalisation on future orders and your Summer Development Credits - apply from the day you upgrade. Your upgraded kit joins the next September dispatch rather than being sent separately, so you won't receive duplicate items. Upgrade before our annual kit cut-off (around 31 July) and the new tier's kit can go into that year's dispatch instead.

Is the coaching different at higher tiers?

No. This is a ROM Sports principle: the coaching, the coaches and the attention are identical at every level, Winter included. Memberships differ only on kit, credits, personalisation, camp discounts and booking priority.

Are cricket bags included with Platinum?

Full-Year Gold gets a Training Bag. Full-Year Platinum gets a Backpack and Track Bottoms instead — not the Training Bag. Winter Platinum, on any programme, also gets a Training Bag.

Is personalisation included, and is there a discount on merchandise itself?

Personalisation discounts depend on your membership tier, on every personalised item you order: Platinum free, Gold 50% off, Silver 25% off, Bronze 10% off. Non-members can also buy from the merchandise shop — personalisation adds a flat £4 per item. Separately, members also save on the merchandise itself when it's bought outside their kit allocation — an extra hoodie or cap from our Shop & Merchandise, say: Bronze 5%, Silver 7.5%, Gold 10%, Platinum 12.5%. The two discounts stack, and the order summary shows both before you pay.

What happens if my child misses a session?

Your membership holds their place in the programme whether or not they attend, so a missed session isn't automatically refunded, credited or transferred. Where capacity and coaching allow we'll try to offer a catch-up in another group — just ask. If your child is going to be away for a long stretch, tell us early and we'll work something out.

What if ROM Sports cancels a session, or the venue is unavailable?

We'll put on a replacement or catch-up where that's practical, or move the session to another venue. If we can't reasonably replace it, we credit or refund that session. If you booked it with a Summer Development Credit, the credit goes straight back on your account.

Can I cancel my membership?

Email coachromesh@outlook.com to cancel any ongoing membership or block booking — this can't currently be self-served through the site. We retain an admin fee equal to the value of 2 sessions and refund the remaining sessions. You have 14 days from joining to change your mind under your statutory rights, and nothing here removes those rights.

What's the cancellation policy for a drop-in session?

The same as our holiday camp policy: 48 or more hours' notice gets a full refund or a credit note; less than 48 hours is a 50% fee, plus the £15 hall fee for indoor Winter drop-ins. Summer drop-ins are outdoor, so no hall fee applies. This credit is a separate credit note — usable for another session, private coaching, a camp or merchandise — and is never a Summer Development Credit.

What happens if a payment fails?

We email you, mark the membership as payment pending, and the payment retries automatically over the next few days — usually it's a card that's expired. Your child's place isn't withdrawn, and if we can't reach you we'll get in touch before anything changes.

Can I buy extra kit, and what if my child changes size?

Yes — the full range is in the kit shop. Standard items can be returned unworn within 14 days; personalised items are made for your child, so they can only be returned if they're faulty or not what you ordered. If we or the manufacturer get it wrong, we replace it at our cost. A size change after production has started is chargeable.

Can my child use the free trial more than once?

The free trial is for new customers only — families who haven't booked, paid for or joined anything with ROM Sports before. New players can book one free trial session, subject to availability — one per child, and it can only be used once. The booking system checks this automatically. After that, a drop-in is the way to try a session — and if you join a membership within 14 days of a trial or drop-in we put £15 towards your membership.

Does membership guarantee a place in every session?

Membership gives your child a place in their programme, and members get priority on member sessions and eligible summer sessions. It isn't unlimited access, and priority doesn't create a place on a session that's already full — that's what the waiting list is for.

How do Summer Development Credits work? (full details)

A Summer Development Credit gives your child one free place on an eligible ROM Sports summer specialist session (worth £25 pay-as-you-go). ROM Sports publishes the sessions available; each booking uses one credit. Gold, for example, includes four.

  • Bronze 1 · Silver 2 · Gold 4 · Platinum 6 credits a year
  • ROM Sports sets the summer programme, the capacity and which sessions suit each child by age and ability
  • Programmes may include Mini Wickets (5–7), Junior Wickets, Girls Development and Mixed Development
  • Credits cover scheduled summer specialist sessions only - never private 1:1/2:1/Group coaching, County Trial Ready, or camps
  • 10 weekly summer sessions on weekday evenings at partner clubs and grounds (days and venues to be confirmed), plus specialist sessions using your credits (Bronze 1 · Silver 2 · Gold 4 · Platinum 6) and a summer T-shirt; credits expire on 30 September
What sizes does the kit come in? — size guide

You choose the fit (boys, girls, men's, women's or unisex) and the size for every garment when you join, so the annual kit order is right first time.

Measurements in inches, with cm underneath. Garment measurements (chest is measured across the front). Between sizes? Go up one. Child sizes 5–7, 8–10, 10–12 and 12–14 years; adult S, M, L (men's and women's adult sizes are also available when you join). Caps: junior one size, or adult S/M and L/XL. Sweatbands and bags are one size.

What do members pay for private coaching?

1:1 and 2:1 coaching are separate products, booked and paid for on their own — Summer Development Credits don't cover them. Prices are for outdoor sessions; winter indoor sessions add the hall's lane hire (£15 for 60 min, £22.50 for 90 min), which is never discounted.

  • 1:1 (60 min) — Non-member price £45 · Bronze member price £42 · Silver member price £40 · Gold member price £38 · Platinum member price £35
  • 2:1 (60 min) — Non-member price £65 · Bronze member price £62 · Silver member price £60 · Gold member price £57 · Platinum member price £54
  • Extra focus (90 min, 1:1 or 2:1) — Non-member price £65 · Bronze member price £62 · Silver member price £60 · Gold member price £57 · Platinum member price £54
  • County Trial Ready — a future 1:1 option for players working toward county trials, delivered by specialist coaches. Coming soon; pricing to be confirmed
We're new — can we try before joining? (free trial, pay as you go, £15 credit)

You don't have to commit to find out whether it suits your child.

  • Free trial — new to ROM Sports customers only — families who haven't booked, paid for or joined anything with ROM Sports before. One free trial session per child, subject to availability
  • Pay-as-you-go drop-in — book ahead, individually or in bulk. Every programme and session has its own dedicated allocation of 10 pay-as-you-go spots, on top of member places, not simply whatever members leave over. Winter: £17.50 (Mini Wickets) or £20 (Junior Wickets / Girls Development) per session — from 2 November 2026: £19.50 (Mini Wickets) and £22 (Junior Wickets / Girls Development); places booked before then keep their price. Summer specialist sessions: £25 per session, or free using a Summer Development Credit. Members and non-members pay the same price — membership gives priority booking, not a lower price
  • Join within 14 days of a trial or drop-in and we'll put £15 towards your membership. It's a credit against membership only — not cash, not transferable, and it can't be used against kit, merchandise, camps or private coaching (Terms section 21)
How do the personalisation and merchandise discounts work?

Name personalisation. Every member gets their tier's discount off the standard £4 personalisation fee, on every personalised item, not just the first: Bronze 10%, Silver 25%, Gold 50%, Platinum free (the sweatband is never personalisable, for anyone). Non-members pay the standard £4 per item. The merchandise shop is open to members and non-members alike.

Merchandise discount. Separately from personalisation, members also get a discount on the merchandise itself when it's bought outside their membership's kit allocation - an extra hoodie or cap from our Shop & Merchandise, say: Bronze 5%, Silver 7.5%, Gold 10%, Platinum 12.5%. The two discounts stack, and the order summary shows both before you pay.

Full membership terms apply, including cancellation, refunds, missed sessions, kit and upgrades — read the membership terms.
