School holidays are a brilliant opportunity for children to try something new, stay active and build their confidence.
And for children who love cricket or would like to give it a go for the first time, our Cricket Academy at Bishop Vesey’s Grammar School is a fantastic way to spend the holidays.
Designed for children aged 5 to 12, the academy gives young cricketers the chance to enjoy expert coaching, exciting games and plenty of time with other children who share their energy and enthusiasm for sport.
Whether your child is picking up a bat for the first time or already plays regularly, we’ll help them feel welcome, supported and ready to get involved.
A fun and active week of cricket
Cricket is about so much more than batting and bowling.
It helps children develop patience, teamwork, focus, communication and resilience, all while having fun, making friends and staying active.
Throughout the academy, children will take part in a wide range of cricket based activities, including:
- Batting
- Bowling
- Fielding
- Wicket keeping
- Team games
- Match style challenges
Our ECB qualified coaches create a positive and encouraging environment where every child can learn, practise and enjoy the game at their own pace.
Perfect for beginners and experienced players
Your child doesn’t need to be an experienced cricketer to join us.
If they’re new to the sport, we’ll help them learn the basics in a fun, relaxed and supportive way. If they already play cricket, we’ll help them sharpen their technique, grow their confidence and develop their skills.
We know every child is different, so our sessions are designed to be inclusive, active and enjoyable for all abilities.
The most important thing is that children feel confident, included and excited to take part.
