🏏Cricket journey

Backyard cricket, with a plan

Catching, batting, bowling and fielding, broken into small skills you can practise in a garden, park or corridor. Throw-downs with a parent are half the fun, and you'll both be shouting β€œyes, no, wait!” in no time.

Who it's for

  • βœ” Your child watches matches and wants to play like their heroes
  • βœ” You want something active to do together after school or at weekends
  • βœ” You're thinking about a cricket academy and want a head start

Heads up: Not a coaching certificate: for hard-ball cricket, get proper kit and a qualified coach.

What you'll get

  • 🌟 Reliable catching and throwing, including a high catch
  • 🌟 A straight bat, a front-foot defence and a straight drive
  • 🌟 A legal bowling action and a full over bowled at the stumps
  • 🌟 Understanding of the rules, running between wickets and playing as a team

The fun part: together

  • 🀝 Do throw-downs and keep score of how many they middle
  • 🀝 Field while they bat, then swap and let them bowl at you
  • 🀝 Watch a match together and spot the skills you've been practising

    Questions parents ask

    I've never played cricket. Is that a problem? οΌ‹

    No. Each skill has a short description and a practice idea that any grown-up can run.

    When should they join an academy? οΌ‹

    Whenever they're keen. This journey works well alongside one, and joining is a milestone in itself.
