All Stars Cricket, the biggest youth initiative to be introduced in the UK, is back for 2021. The scheme is designed to provide a fun and inspirational first taste of cricket for five-to-eight-years-olds. At PGCC we support this ECB initiative - please see our News page for the All Stars news item and follow the link for booking.

The nationwide initiative – which has been created by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) – enables children to acquire the skills to play the game and connect with England’s cricketing heroes.

All Stars Cricket offers eight weeks of coaching in a safe and inclusive environment, with the focus on having fun and making friends.

All girls and boys are welcome, and each registered child will receive a pack of cricket goodies so that they can continue their love of cricket when they go home. The pack includes: a cricket bat, ball, backpack, water bottle, personalised shirt and cap. Children involved in previous years will receive different kit including a set of stumps.

All Stars Cricket will provide your child with all the fundamental skills that they will need to play the game through lively, fun games.

Over the course of the eight-week programme, the trained activators will teach your child to:

Catch and throw a ball
Hit a moving ball
Bowl with a straight arm
Play a basic game of cricket
Work and communicate as a team
Have lots of fun with new friends
