“I REALLY CAN’T STRESS ENOUGH THE WAY IN WHICH CRICKET IMPACTS UPON EVERY AREA OF CHILDREN’S LIVES AND THEIR LEARNING.”
We have a simple goal: to give all young people the opportunity to play and learn through cricket.
We want to help the schools inspire and develop their students and add to the success of your school.
We take cricket to new places and use it to ignite new passions, teach vital skills, unite diverse groups and educate children. With your help, we can spread the power of cricket!
Inclusive
Cricket has the amazing ability to cross cultural, social and gender divides. Boys and girls can play equally alongside one another. Cricket breaks down barriers and unites children from diverse backgrounds, reaching all of our ethnic communities like no other sport.
Discipline
Cricket insists on high standards of conduct and provides positive role models. Pupils respond well to the structure and ‘laws’ of the game.
Teamwork
Children learn how to co-operate with others by playing team sports. They learn to support their peers and this positive behaviour is then brought back into the classroom.
Fair Play
When it comes to fair play, cricket is special. We teach young people to respect their team-mates, opponents and the umpire.
Competition
We provide competitive opportunities for children so they can aim high, work hard towards a goal and learn how to win and lose graciously. They are also given the resilience to bounce back from setbacks.
Much More Than A Game
We believe competitive team sports can play a key role in the education of young people. Many teachers agree that cricket is so much more than just a game. They tell us about the positive effect cricket has on children in the playground and classroom.
Educational Benefits
Teachers report how cricket coaching sessions can help improve pupil attendance, behaviour, concentration, motivation and general attitude towards education.
