Get into Cricket with All Stars!

All Stars Cricket provides boys and girls from age 5-8 years old with 8 weeks of non-stop fun.  

​

The activity and game based programme is suitable for all skill levels, providing your child with the foundations to begin a lifelong love of physical activity and cricket while making new friends.
 

Our under 9's squad is led by Bala, an experienced ex First class cricketer and qualified coach. 
At this foundation level, our youngsters are introduced to the game of cricket to learn and develop their skills in batting, bowling and fielding before moving on to the hard ball game. There is also a great emphasis on balance, agility and coordination.

​

The U'9s game is an adaptation of the full scale game called Pairs cricket. It allows all players to experience batting, bowling and fielding during every game. The training sessions are fun and educational and develop the fundamental skills required to be a successful cricketer.

Our under 11's squad is led by Luke, an experienced player and qualified core coach.
For the first half of the season the under 11's continue to develop their skills in the Pairs Cricket format. Skills are developed in all elements of the game including confidence with the bat and ball. The training sessions are fun and inclusive.

 

In the second half of the season the under 11's follow the 20/20 format in preparation for future development into more senior teams. We develop individuals through enjoyable training sessions based on their qualities as cricketers. Batters, bowlers and all rounders. Not forgetting wicket keepers and fielders. This allows individuals to focus on their own abilities and provides opportunities to demonstrate specific skills and attributes as young cricketers.
