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 30,000 children in 2023, 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.

The focus of secondary school cricket focuses mainly on promoting participation and giving state school children regular competitive cricket. Please contact zaksinkinson@edgbaston.com for more information.
