This Summer the England Cricket Board (ECB) is running a fantastic programme providing kids with a great first experience in cricket.

All Stars Cricket offers eight weeks of coaching in a safe and inclusive environment, with the focus on having fun and making friends.

The programme is aimed at 5 – 8 year olds and people in the Bristol area have a huge opportunity to be involved with a variety of centres all over the city.

All girls and boys are welcome, and each registered child will receive a pack of cricket goodies including a cricket bat, ball, backpack, water bottle, personalised shirt and cap to keep, so that they can continue their love of cricket when they go home. Children who were involved in 2017 will receive different kit in year 2 including a set of stumps.

All Stars Cricket will provide your child with all of the fundamental skills they need to play cricket through, lively, fun games.

Registration is now open for the 2018 programme – go to https://www.ecb.co.uk/play/all-stars  and search for your nearest centre by entering your post code.
