Introduction to Cricket in Nottinghamshire
Nottinghamshire has a rich cricketing heritage, being host to the third oldest international
cricket ground in the world “Trent Bridge”; home of the Nottinghamshire Outlaws. A large
number of Nottinghamshire boys & girls have gone on to represent their country in recent
years stars such as Stuart Broad (Nottingham) Jake Ball (Mansfield), Samit Patel
(Nottingham) Jenny Gunn (Newark).
Our Chance to Shine (CtS) Programme Aims:
“We wish to provide opportunities for all school pupils to engage in a high quality skills
based programme, with opportunities for them to progress within cricket”
Key Stage 1 aims:


We wish to work with KS1 Students to develop fundamental sport and
movement skills, based around the national curriculum such as running,
jumping, catching & throwing. Key movements for all sports; not just cricket.
To provide an assembly visit by our coaches prior to the sessions and a whole
school teacher training session, Introducing Cricket as a sport and its rich
history within Nottinghamshire. (Professional players may attend, dependant



As a sport we are one of the first national governing bodies to recognise that
developing fundamental skills is critical for 5-8 year olds and the need to
provide a programme for this specific age group.
All Stars Cricket enables children to acquire the skills to play the game and
connects them to England cricket heroes. They will have the opportunity to
play alongside mum and dad and further develop there fundamental & cricket
skills.
Relating to this work, we will have a
number of All Star Cricket centres set up
across Nottingham City &
Nottinghamshire, via clubs, school sites,
and community venues. (Specifically

schools)
