The new six-week coaching programme provides a fantastic next step for all those graduating from All Stars Cricket, and is the perfect introduction for all 8 to 11-year-olds new to the sport.
Complementing junior cricket, Dynamos provides children with a more social offer. It focuses on developing fundamental movement skills and applying them in an exciting game of countdown cricket.

All Stars Cricket returns to Bredon Cricket Club for 2020
All Stars Cricket, the England and Wales Cricket Board’s entry-level coaching programme for children aged five to eight, returns to Bredon Cricket Club in spring 2020.
Bredon bowled first, starting with a fairly average opening performance.
Young Sam Wilson was asked to bowl, which I imagine was a very nerve-racking experience for the youngster.
Sam was straight on it, showing no nerves and with his first over ending with a maiden, the support from his team mates giving him confidence.
He then took a wicket in the second over, with Harry Buckley taking the catch.
A wicket maiden followed in the third, with Sam taking out off stump.
Over four, Sam took two further wickets, one of which included their opening batsman, who was getting close to a 50. Both were catches by Sam’s brother Will.
Sam ended up with figures of four overs, two maidens, five runs and four wickets.
What a great performance by a youngster living up to and out- performing his older brothers in style.
Well done, Sam. Make sure you keep reminding your brothers!
Bredon knocked the runs off in style in the 10th over with some big hitting from Josh Witt and Luke Plane.
Double bill of cricket at our World Cup family day
There’s a double bill of scintillating cricket at Bredon on Sunday (July 14).
The club’s Under 12s and Under 13s meet in the semi-final of the Cotswold Hills League plate competition. The game starts at 11.30am, and will be finished by about 1.30pm.
Bredon Third XI hosted Evesham Third XI on Saturday at Birlingham.
Evesham batted first and struggled, ending on 163 for 8 with a great opening spell from Luke Plane taking three wickets and only conceding 12 runs.
Joe Hunt backed him up with a very tight spell of off spin, taking one wicket.
Tolly Wilson bowled beautifully with pace and control, ending up with a wicket.
Cole Notley tempted Evesham batters into going big with his flight, bowling a great line and length which paid off.
Cole ended up with two wickets. He scooped up one off his bowling and took a catch in the covers that had been driven at pace.
An amazing performance in the field by all juniors working really hard. Very impressive.
Bredon batted after tea in a confident position, with Sean Styles and Oliver Washbourne opening up.
Oliver had a lovely couple of off-drives, beating the field and looking in good shape.
Sean played the senior role of staying in and controlling the game, supporting the junior players so they could gain match experience.
Luke Plane was in top form with three beautifully dispatched cover drives for four, playing the ball very late with such timing. He ended up on 31 before being despatched.
Sean reached his 50 and the game was in the bag. He ended up 73 not out. A great knock, steering the team to another win and taking us to second position in the league.
A super all-round performance by all, especially the juniors. Well done!
Young stars Will Wilson, left, whose tally at Kingsholm was four overs, two maidens, 10 runs and six wickets, and Ollie McGrath, who notched up 50 with a series of classy shots
Bredon Under 15s travelled to Kingsholm, Gloucester, for a league match in which their young stars shone on Monday evening.
Bredon were put into bat, and on a drying wicket Ollie McGrath opened up with a solid start.
He soon got into the flow, taking apart the bowling on a difficult track and giving the boys a great start.
Ollie notched up his 50 in style, playing some very classy shots.
Bredon ended up 132 for 5 after 20 overs.
Bredon then took to the field, with William Wilson opening up with great pace, clean-bowling their opener first ball, and with the following five balls unplayable.
In William’s third over he clean-bowled a further three batsmen.
A further two wickets were taken in his fourth over, with an amazing caught and bowled, William diving full length to dismiss their best bat.
He ended up: four overs, two maidens, 10 runs and six wickets.
Bredon skittled them out for 54. An amazing achievement, and many more to come. Watch this space!
Well done to both: Bredon’s up and coming stars of the future.
The Under 15s are now top of their league and are all playing their part and maturing into solid cricketers.
