The very first step into cricket.
All Stars Cricket is the ECB's official introduction to the game for boys and girls aged 5–8. At Charlesworth & Chisworth CC we run it as the warmest possible welcome to club cricket — an hour of laughter, learning and brand-new friendships every Friday evening.
Sessions are built around fun games and simple skills: throwing, catching, hitting and running. Children develop coordination and confidence in a safe, supportive setting, and parents are encouraged to stay, watch and meet other club families in the clubhouse.
It's the same pathway used at clubs across England and Wales — the start of a journey that, for some, leads all the way to senior cricket. For everyone, it's an unforgettable summer of cricket-shaped fun.
When & Where
Fridays · 5–6pm
An eight-week programme of one-hour sessions at the club ground, starting 8th May. Just turn up ready to play — water bottle and trainers are all you'll need.
What's Included
£40 · Full kit included
Every child receives a personalised t-shirt, bat, ball and backpack to take home and keep — plus eight weeks of expert coaching at the club.
Led by Ella Kassim.
Sessions are run by Ella Kassim, who began her own cricketing adventure as an All Star right here at the club — and now plays for Derbyshire Girls.
There's no better example of where All Stars can lead, and no better person to make those first sessions feel safe, fun and full of possibility.
An eight-week summer to remember.
