Our exciting coaching courses are led by the Foundation’s team of qualified cricket coaches who will support young players aged 8 to 13 years to develop their skills during 10 weekly sessions.
There are a variety of options for players to get involved in. Sessions vary by venue but are two hours in duration, once a week lasting for 10 weeks.
Our new programme will start in October, breaking for October half term. Please make note of the specific dates as there are gaps for half term.
Delivered by two coaches, we will be able to cater for differing ability levels.
Introduction to hardball- We know that for some, the step from softball cricket to hardball can be quite a big change. This programme will provide players the opportunity to start training with a hardball, We will provide all the equipment, as we appreciate families may not want to purchase all the kit before they know if their child wants to play.
Under 12s to 14s (for 2027 season)- Year 7. 8 & 9 children from September. This will be a hard ball coaching programme. Players will be expected to bring their own equipment.
We look forward to seeing you at our exciting Breaking Boundaries Coaching Courses
