Dynamos Cricket Intros - Edgbaston Foundation

Through the Dynamos Cricket Intros programme, we promote inclusion and encourage children from diverse communities to take up cricket.

Funded by Sky Sports and the ECB, the programme offers free cricket sessions to young people who may not have had the opportunity to play before.

Our aim is to create more opportunities for children aged 8-11 from under-served communities, particularly those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds or receiving free school meals, to enjoy cricket and develop their skills.

The programme aims to introduce cricket to areas that have not previously been reached. We deliver sessions in a variety of locations, including community centres, local parks, Multi-Use Games Areas, and mosques.

If you are interested in attending a Dynamos Cricket Intros centre or have any questions about the programme, please get in touch with Nailah Sarwar, Dynamos Intros Ambassador.
