Have wicket fun playing sport!

  • Booking essential

Join a specially designed cricket skills session for children with special educational needs and disabilities. 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.

These sessions are led by trained instructors from Durham Cricket, who will tailor their approach to the needs of participating children. All SEND children and their families are welcome. Accompanying family members are welcome to join the session or watch from the side.

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.

Please arrive at the field ready for the start time of the session. This event is free, please book in advance. Families with a booked ticket can park free of charge in the car park.

Summer of Play is sponsored by Starling Bank.
