Getting started with cricket
Foundation Cricket is for children aged 5–10 who are beginning to understand the game. The focus is on enjoyable participation and the basic movements that make later cricket practice easier to follow.
Bowling and movement
Early bowling work is about a comfortable action, direction and consistency rather than speed. Running, stopping and changing direction help children become more confident movers.
Fielding and teamwork
Catching, throwing, reacting to the ball and working with teammates introduce the habits that fielding requires. Learning the rules and taking turns are part of the experience too.
Parent guidance
Comfortable sports clothing, suitable footwear and drinking water are useful for a first visit. Protective-equipment needs depend on the activity, so parents can include the player’s age and experience in an enquiry.
