Dynamos Cricket can get young kids active
The England and Wales Cricket Board has opened registration for kids to sign-up for Dynamos Cricket, a new programme for eight to 11-yearolds designed to encourage boys and girls to have fun, make friends and fall in love with cricket.
With outdoor cricket returning on March 29, kids finally have the much-needed opportunity to get outside, get active, make friends and – importantly – enjoy the summer.
Dynamos Cricket is the perfect opportunity to do just that, with kids due to take part in one of two six to 12 week courses running at clubs and sports centres across the country during the summer term, beginning May 7, and over the school holidays alongside the ECB’s brand new 100-ball competition The Hundred.
Each week, participants will develop new skills including batting, bowling and fielding, plus they will have the chance to play a fast-paced and exciting game of countdown cricket – a new format that mirrors The Hundred launching this summer.
The programme is complemented by the free Dynamos Cricket app which contains loads of exclusive content.
Kids will be able to learn new skills, take part in interactive quizzes and unlock videos and challenges from key players from The Hundred.
Launched last year but postponed due to the pandemic, Dynamos Cricket is designed for children graduating from the All Stars Cricket programme for five to eight-year-olds – which is also open for registration.
Registration for parents of kids aged eight to 11 can be found at dynamoscricket. co.uk.
