Primary Schools - Chance to Shine Coaching

Bucks Cricket deliver 'Chance to Shine' programmes in schools to provide all children the opportunity to play, learn and develop through cricket. Our specialist coaches go into schools providing a brilliant first experience of cricket through delivering engagement days and whole school programmes.

As well as the physical benefits of regular activity, we use cricket to teach children important key life skills that will help them beyond the playground. Through the values of cricket, we teach children about respect and fair play.

Cricket is also an effective way to develop skills like communication, leadership and perseverance that will benefit them throughout their life. We believe that cricket is an inclusive sport, where girls and boys can play and learn together.
