All Stars Cricket & Dynamos Cricket in partnership with the ECB

Established in 2021 and working alongside the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB), cricket soon became a popular sport among the girls. Taking place during the summer on Sunday afternoon, girls learn fundamental movement skills including catching, throwing and batting with a focus on the following core skills:

• Batting – hitting a moving ball
• Throwing – underarm and overarm
• Catching – small and large balls
• Bowling – overarm
• Running – lots of movement
• Teamwork – fun games with friends
• Communication – the basics of cricket
• Spirit of Cricket – how to respect others

Four ladies from the community undertook online and face-to-face training sessions to become cricket activators and be able to run sessions with a full suite of cricket equipment. Girls who attend cricket sessions also receive a personalised shirt, bag, bat and ball to keep practising all week!
