All Stars Cricket - the first, fun, active form of the game for 5 to 8-year-old boys and girls
The England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) have launched the first nationwide entry-level participation programme for cricket, with the aim of getting 50,000 boys and girls excited by the game this year.
A new generation of families will be introduced to cricket through All Stars Cricket, a major new grassroots initiative which starts in May.
All Stars Cricket will be delivered through local cricket clubs and centres across England and Wales throughout the summer, giving 5-8 year olds their first experience of the game.
Registration takes place via www.allstarscricket.co.uk. After signing-up, boys and girls will have a cricket ‘back-pack’ delivered to their door with a rucksack, bat, ball, water bottle, cap and T shirt that can be personalised for each child.
They will then start an eight-week programme at their local participating centre, with the emphasis placed firmly on learning how to play the game in a fun, safe and inclusive environment. Children will also learn the social development skills that team sport brings.
Each child that registers in Derbyshire will also have the chance to win tickets to Derbyshire County Cricket games and even the England vs South Africa Test match at Trent Bridge in Nottingham.
The Derbyshire Cricket Board have also partnered up with Gulliver’s Kingdom to offer each registered child a free day pass to their theme park at Matlock Bath.
