All Stars Cricket and Dynamos Cricket 2023 are here! Clubs now asked to register their programmes ahead of the 2023 summer!
From a Wiltshire Cricket perspective, 2022 was another record year for All Stars and Dynamos Cricket in the county. We reached a total of 2046 participants across both programmes, up from 1928 in 2021. We also had a record number of clubs delivering the programmes. We very much hope to build on this once again in 2023 as we look to continue to inspire the next generation of cricketers across Wiltshire.
As a game, Cricket is rightly striving to become a more inclusive sport, and a sport that is for the whole family. Through All Stars Cricket and Dynamos Cricket, we have seen many clubs in recent years attract new audiences, meaning that beyond the impact of more children playing the game we have also seen other parts of clubs grow through those new families that have been engaged with our Sport.
Of the many benefits that All Stars Cricket and Dynamos Cricket can have for clubs we would highlight the following:
- All Stars Cricket provides an outstanding first experience for children and their parents
- Dynamos Cricket builds upon All Stars Cricket, aligns closely to the HUNDRED competition, and prepares players in the most appropriate way for their first ventures in to competitive matchplay
- The content for All Stars Cricket and Dynamos Cricket has been researched and designed in consultation with the ECB Performance departments to ensure that they provide the most appropriate education and preparation for future formats of the game
- All Stars Cricket and Dynamos Cricket, through the local and national marketing, provide great opportunities to engage new families and members in your cricket club
- All Stars Cricket and Dynamos Cricket provide clubs with all of the equipment, training and resources that are needed in order to deliver high quality programmes
For clubs that have not delivered All Stars Cricket or Dynamos Cricket before, we would be really keen to explore with you the possibility of you delivering in 2023. A lot of support that we and ECB can provide to clubs is geared around clubs delivering national programmes and so please do reach out if you would like to discuss the programmes in more detail:
Timescales - Key Dates for clubs to be aware of in relation to launch of 2022 Programmes
