Cricket for Primary Schools

Primary Schools Cricket Programme 

Meath Local Sports Partnership and Cricket Leinster have been working together to promote the sport of Cricket for children in Meath. 

Description: The Schools Cricket programme provides young cricketers with exciting, challenging & enjoyable cricket experiences. The structure of Schools Cricket includes: shorter games, modified rules and lighter equipment ensuring children are placed front-and-centre in terms of experience and their enjoyment of learning the game of cricket is first-and-foremost. The programme sees schools committing to teacher training, 4-6 weeks of coaching and participation in a School Blitz.

The teacher training was top class and the equipment we received is fantastic, it makes it so much easier to introduce a new sport like Cricket when you have all the training resources at hand.
