Schools<\/h2>\n

We work with hundreds of schools across Warwickshire and Birmingham every year, aiming to inspire children to enjoy and continue playing cricket as they grow.<\/p>\n

As a partner of Chance to Shine, a national cricket charity, we deliver high-quality cricket programmes to both primary and secondary school children.<\/p>\n

Below, you can find out more about our work in schools and the programmes your school may be eligible to take part in.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Our school\u2019s programme is one of the most successful in the country and was a big contributing factor to the WCF being named Chance to Shine\u2019s County Board of the Year. I am fortunate enough to have a great team of coaches who are delivering programmes in local communities and making a real difference.<\/p>\n
