About Us

For the previous 13 years Founder and Managing Director Darren Talbot worked in the Mutual Fund industry in Marketing and latterly as an Investment Analyst for New Star Asset Management.

In 2004, Darren set up the Youth Academy for Cobham Avorians Cricket Club in Surrey where he is now Director of Youth Coaching.

Having coached regularly since 2004, Darren decided to give up the City life in January 2007 in favour of teaching cricket to young people full time. For many years he felt disappointed how few children played cricket regularly in schools, particularly state schools, and decided to do something about it himself.

By July 2009, Darren Talbot Cricket Coaching had been working in over 110 schools throughout the United Kingdom.

Darren is Director of Youth Coaching at Cobham Avorians Cricket Club. He is also a member of the ECB Coaches Association Surrey and West Surrey Youth Cricket League committees and manager of the West Surrey Youth Cricket League U15 Divisional team.

Darren is also Press Officer and Programme Editor at Worcester Park Football Club of the Combined Counties Football League.
