CL CLUB BRIEFING - NATIONAL YOUTH PROGRAMMES (3.5.2023)

All CL clubs are invited to attend a short Information Session on Wednesday 3rd May at 7.00pm via zoom.

The purpose of the session is to (re) introduce your club to the two National Youth Participation programmes as follows:

1) Smash-It

This programme is intended for boys and girls (aged 5-9 years) and is about kids being active, making friends and having fun. It is delivered over 6 – 8 sessions and all participating clubs will receive full training, resources and programme logistics. All participating kids will receive a ‘Smash It’ t-shirt, backpack, bat and ball which will be distributed directly to each signed up participant.

2) It's Wicket

This programme is intended for girls (aged 9-13 years) who want to be part of an inclusive club, have fun and feel empowered by playing sport. The programme introduces girls to cricket through skill-based activities and games. The programme is made up of 6 flexible sessions that clubs can run in a format that best suits with full training, resources and programme logistics provided. All participants will receive an It’s Wicket! t-shirt, backpack, bat and ball which will also be distributed directly to each signed up participant.

Both of these programmes are national initiatives which are being run in each area by the local Provincial Union - so here in the Cricket Leinster region, as last year, we will be appointing 2 coordinators to work with and support clubs throughout the summer in providing one or both of these programmes at your club ground.

To find out all the details about these programmes and how your club might get involved, please register for the Information Session on the link below:

And just a reminder that the Club Information Session for CL clubs is scheduled for Wednesday 3rd May at 7.00pm (via zoom).

This session will be jointly presented by Cricket Ireland & Cricket Leinster personnel.

We hope you can make it.
