As a partner of Chance to Shine, we provide cricket programmes in secondary schools. You can find out about the different types of cricket programs we offer and what your school may be eligible for by reading below.

Secondary School Girls Leadership

Each academic year, six schools are selected to provide girls from disadvantaged communities with a different perspective on cricket. The programme offers six curriculum-focused sessions, six weeks of after-school support, competition possibilities, and opportunities to help their local community.

Each school also has the opportunity to develop skills in leadership, such as running warm-ups, scoring, umpiring, and leading sessions, with the assistance of Foundation coaches.

Proof of Concept

We work with the ECB to help schools develop a girls-only cricket programme. Schools are eligible for two days of curriculum-focused sessions, along with an after-school club to provide opportunities to those who are interested in cricket and not able to commute or commit to a cricket club nearby.

Schools that participate in this programme can enter Chance to Compete and Glow in the Dark competitions as a reward and to further develop their cricket interests.

Street Engagement Days

To help promote Chance to Shine Street venues, we offer Street Engagement Days in schools to highlight the benefits of Street Cricket. We focus on locations that lack cricket activities outside of school, or disadvantaged communities where people may be unable to commit to joining a cricket club but would prefer a casual option to continue playing cricket.

Street Engagements Days are delivered by a Warwickshire Cricket Foundation coach in a single day.

Secondary School Competitions

The Warwickshire Cricket Foundation offers secondary school competitions for all schools in Warwickshire, providing numerous competitive opportunities during both winter and summer months.
