Introduction to Cricket

Welcome to our introductory cricket coaching session, designed specifically for those eager to engage primary school children in the sport. Led by the Live Active Cricket Development Team, this session will explore essential techniques and strategies for effectively teaching cricket to young learners.

Participants aged S3 and above will be guided through a series of dynamic drills and interactive games suitable for a range of ages and skill levels. These activities will focus on the three fundamental skills of cricket: batting, bowling, and fielding. Join us to enhance your coaching toolkit and inspire the next generation of cricket enthusiasts!
