All Stars Cricket, the new ECB-backed programme of cricket coaching for five to eight-year-olds, got under way at Bredon Cricket Club this afternoon.
More than 20 children turned up for their first lesson in the basics of the game.
It was the third-best attended All Stars session in Worcestershire, a tribute to the club’s growing reputation for the quality of its coaching and friendly welcome.
The All Stars coaching was followed by coaching for the other junior age groups at the club, and it made for a lively evening with dozens of families socialising at our picturesque ground at the foot of Bredon Hill (see video below).
All children attending All Stars receive a backpack of cricket goodies, including a bat, ball, water bottle, personalised shirt and cap to keep.
They will be taught the 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
All Stars Cricket at Bredon Cricket Club is being led by Tom Walsingham, our DBS-certified new coach.
It is still not too late to sign up for the eight-week programme.
Bookings and payment must be made online at the secure All Stars Cricket site here.
