This information page for
School Teachers provides details of cricket activities supporting the National Curriculum, which we can offer to Infant,
Primary, Junior & Secondary Schools.
Jon is a fully accredited
and very experienced ECB Qualified Level 3 Cricket Coach who has attended all of the required training to be able to
coach in Schools.
Over recent years
Jon has worked very closely with Teachers at Infant, Primary, Junior and Secondary Schools to coach and
encourage the playing of cricket. As word has spread, the number of Schools where we coach has expanded, and we
now have coaching contracts in place to coach at 60 different Schools in our local area each year!
Year 1 through to year 10 - we now have experience of
dealing with EVERY age group of School Child, and we also have experience of working with all kind of Teachers - from
those who have never picked up a cricket bat right up to those who are Specialist Secondary School PE Teachers with a
good level of cricket knowledge.
We are delighted that
our work within Schools has grown to this extent, and as an amusing
aside, we now get accosted when we are out shopping for groceries by children of all ages who point at Jon & shout
"Look Mum, that's our Cricket Man"
Every
session we run at a School will try to include 2 main things:
Opportunities for the
Participants to have fun playing cricket
Opportunities for Teachers
to develop additional skills, confidence & ideas - to help them to continue
to play cricket after we have gone.
Hard as it might be to believe, we work best part of a year ahead for diary bookings.
That said, we will always try to fit in special requests from Schools where we can - so if you would like to discuss us undertaking
some work at your School, then please do make contact with us. Jon's diary is always booked on a first come first served
basis, and below is an outline of the activities for a typical year.....................
Infant & Primary School Kinder Cricket - from Autumn right
through to July, culminating in an annual Infant & Primary Schools Kinder Cricket Competition for year 1 & year 2
children.
Primary & Junior School Kwik Cricket (for year 5 & 6 children) -
from February through to Whit - with a series of Kwik Cricket competitions open to boys & girls in all Primary
& Junior Schools, as well as a further Kwik Cricket competition run exclusively for year 5/6 girls.
Any Primary / Junior School within Allerdale can take part in either (or both)
of these competitions!
After
School Clubs continue to be one of the most "in demand" aspects of our work - all year round. With only 5 days
of the week, we're really sorry but we are already fully booked for After School Clubs for the whole of the 2011-12
academic year.
Some of the coaching we
offer costs Schools nothing at all! - If you are interested in finding out what we can do for YOUR School, then
please make contact with us!
Our diary is always booked on a "first come first served" basis, so please do make contact
with us if you would like to discuss activities for your School.
We really will try our best to help you.
