Following on from the launch to Clubs of the Smash It and It’s Wicket! programmes in April, the registration portal for both programmes is now open.
Smash It is for girls and boys aged 5 – 9 years and is all about getting kids active, making friends and having fun in an inclusive and safe environment. Smash It aims to get children excited about cricket through discovery and play by learning fundamental movement skills needed for batting, bowling, fielding and wicket-keeping.
It’s Wicket! introduces girls aged 9 – 13 years old to cricket through skill-based activities and games and empowers girls to own their cricketing experience. It’s Wicket! is an inclusive and safe programme that aims to get girls active, have fun with their friends and learn new skills!
Smash It and It’s Wicket! sessions are delivered by trained Club Activators and participants will receive a Smash It or It’s Wicket! t-shirt, backpack, bat and ball once they register!
Visit www.cricket-programmes.com to find out more and book a place on Smash It or It’s Wicket! for 2021. More clubs will be added and shared over the coming weeks!
