Breaking Boundaries- 2025 dates confirmed and available to book now!
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 typically 90 minutes to two hours, once a week lasting for 10 weeks.
Our new programme will start in January and will last for 10 weeks, breaking for February half term. Please make note of the specific dates as there is a gap for half term.
Delivered by two coaches, we will be able to cater for all ability levels, so please bring any equipment you do have with you. There will be a maximum of 16 children per session.
- U9 sessions will be largely soft ball activity but specific activities will introduce a hard ball (catching, bowling, throwing etc.). There is no need to purchase protective equipment for these sessions
- U11 sessions will be more balanced in terms of the amount of soft ball and hard ball activities that are played. That said, there is no obligation to purchase protective equipment. For example, we will ensure there is a soft ball net for those without equipment.
- U13 will be hard ball cricket sessions. Players will need to bring their own equipment.
We look forward to seeing you at our exciting Breaking Boundaries Coaching Courses
