Bredon Cricket Club can teach your child six basic cricket skills that will get them started on the sport.
This month we are launching All Stars Cricket coaching for five to eight-year-olds.
What is All Stars Cricket?
It is an eight-week course that is being backed by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), the governing body for all cricket in England and Wales.
The programme will take place all across the country over the same period, and it aims to offer children their first taste of Britain’s great summer sport.
They will receive a backpack of cricket goodies, including a bat, ball, water bottle, personalised shirt and cap to keep.
What are the six basic skills they will learn?
All Stars Cricket will teach them all of fundamental skills they need to play, including how to:
Catch and throw a ball
Hit a moving ball
Bowl with a straight arm
Play a basic game of cricket
Work and communicate as a team
Have lots of fun with new friends
Other benefits of All Stars Cricket
Nationally, 500 lucky All Stars (and their parents) will get the chance to meet the likes of Joe Root, Stuart Broad and the rest of the England team.
The winners will attend special All Stars Cricket press conferences where they can pose questions to the England players before a big game, get their autographs and have their photos taken with their new heroes.
All Stars Cricket is fantastic for parents too. For an hour a week mums and dads are invited to get involved and play cricket with their children.
We know this is a great way to spend time with your child and create memories that will last a lifetime.
