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.
All Stars Cricket at Bredon Cricket Club is being led by Tom Walsingham, our DBS-certified new coach.
When does it happen, and how much does it cost?
Sessions are held every Friday from 5.30pm until 6.15pm for eight weeks.
The first is on Friday, May 18, 2018.
The course costs £40 per child (participants and/or their parents are not required to be members of Bredon Cricket Club).
The introduction of All Stars Cricket replaces all the club’s existing arrangements for cricket in the five to eight years age group.
How do I sign up?
Bredon Cricket Club is unable to accept bookings and payment for All Stars Cricket sessions.
Bookings and payment must be made online at the secure All Stars Cricket site here.
