Schools

The Warwickshire Cricket Foundation supports Primary, Secondary and SEND education through delivering practical, inclusive and fun cricket sessions all year round.

The Warwickshire Cricket Foundation seeks to provide all children the chance to play, learn, and develop through cricket.

Our coaches use cricket to teach children valuable life skills that will benefit them beyond the playground. WCF taught cricket to 42,000 children in 2024, and we intend to raise this number even further.

The goal is to promote connections between primary and secondary schools and their local cricket clubs. Our fully qualified coaches provide cricket lessons and officiate matches in schools, deliver teacher CPD, and encourage children to participate in local cricket clubs.

Primary

Warwickshire Cricket Foundation has three different programme offers for primary schools. Click here to find out more information. Throughout the sessions, coaches use cricket to teach children valuable life skills such as communication, empathy, and respect. The Chance to Shine Portal is a great place for teachers to find free digital resources including session plans, videos, and tips to deliver primary school cricket lessons.

Warwickshire Cricket Foundation also provide tailored coaching packages to schools. Please contact Chris Kenny for more information.

Secondary

Warwickshire Cricket Foundation has two different programme offers for secondary school girls. Click here to find out more information. Both are designed to create opportunities for teenage girls to play cricket and to support them in developing leadership skills through cricket. We run Secondary School Competitions for both boys and girls.

The focus of secondary school cricket focuses mainly on promoting participation and giving state school children regular competitive cricket. Please contact Zak Sinkinson for more information.

SEND

The Warwickshire Cricket Foundation’s Disability Programme is delivered in partnership with the Lord’s Taverners. We aim to positively impact the lives of young people facing the challenges of inequality.
