  • All Stars Summer – the good, the bad and the ugly

    We finished our first All Stars Cricket programme at the Club last week.  A lot of fun, and a lot of learning, for All Stars, Activator and Centre Manager.

    Did we get everything right, first time?

    No…but there was more than enough that went well to make us want to run All Stars Cricket again in 2018.

  • Game Sense: Cricket

    Now this, from the Drowning in the Shallows blog by @imsporticus, just might be the model for future coaching programmes. Strongly in the “game sense” mould, with the players taking a lot of responsibility for their own learning.

    Not that the coach gets to sit down and do nothing for an hour – there will be a lot of obseqrvation and analysis, followed by questioning and appropriate feedback; there will be an increased need for imaginative game design, with appropriate progressions planned.

    But the potential upside, of developing thinking cricketers, must surely be worth the effort.
