Bat, bowl, and field your way to success in this fun cricket skills session, where kids can learn techniques and improve their game with hands-on coaching.

Cricket skills is an under 18 event to get children moving and learning new skills within a team. Bring along a blanket to watch your child from the edge of the field.

If there are any no-shows on the day, we may be able to welcome a few extra children to join, so it’s always worth checking in.
