With the imminent return of local cricket, many clubs have started taking names for the ECB All Stars Cricket programme.

All Stars Cricket provides a fantastic first experience for all children aged 5-11 years old where they’re guaranteed 8 weeks of jam-packed fun, activity and skills development. The programme is designed to introduce children to the sport, teaching them new skills, helping them make new friends and have a great time doing so.

Every child that registers will receive a backpack full of goodies. Your child’s pack will include: • Backpack • Cricket bat • Cricket ball • Personalised t-shirt with your child’s name. All early sign-ups will also receive a cap (new participants only).

Children returning to All Stars will receive a kit bag, a set of stumps, a new ball and a personalised t-shirt.
