Yep very much this. One of the first team at our club has just gone to be Head of Cricket at the private school. Head of Cricket ffs. My oldest boy gets 2 hours a week of PE at comprehensive school and that’s mostly playing dodgeball.
We pay for our 2 to attend coaching weeks in the holidays and nets by a private company through the winter, but so do most of the parents of talented private school kids so you just cant catch up.
2 very talented kids at the club have been scouted at Northants by private schools and given scholarships which their parents have accepted as they know that’s the only way their kid is going to get a chance to go all the way, despite one of them finding the whole private school thing abhorrent. Don’t think I could do it.
