All children returning to All Stars will receive a kit bag, a set of stumps, a new ball and a personalised t-shirt.

Every child will earn stars in their own activity booklet that match the skills learned during the programme:

Batting – hitting a moving ball

Throwing – underarm and overarm

Catching – small and large balls

Bowling – overarm

Running – lots of movement

The sessions continue with skill builders for 15 minutes, providing everything children need to play, particularly focusing on bowling, which can be the make-or-break element of any game of cricket!

The session finishes with a game of countdown cricket that will take 30-45 minutes and give everyone a chance to participate in all elements of the game – batting, bowling and fielding.
