We’ve joined forces with children’s cricketing charity Chance to Shine (CTS) to encourage girls of all abilities and backgrounds to play, learn and develop through the power of cricket.

Through CTS’s Girls’ Leadership Through Cricket programme, we’ve supported secondary-aged girls across the UK to develop improved confidence and leadership skills, while strengthening their physical activity levels through the sport. By emphasising raised aspirations, and inspiring girls to achieve, the programme aims to counteract challenges to self-belief, and contribute to a widespread improvement of physical health, mental health and wellbeing. 

The sessions support the young leaders to run their own extra-curricular cricket club and to support primary school coaching alongside their coaches.

The initiative also provides secondary teachers with new resources to support teaching of sport and leadership, while highlighting the importance of inclusivity and accessibility to schools.

Hear from Framingham Earl High School Teachers, Students and NCB Coach, Peter Free about their experience of the programme.
