Chance to Shine"Chance to shine will serve cricket well but it is not in itself a campaign for cricket."
The clear motivation behind Chance to shine lies in recognising the power of competitive team sports – and cricket in particular – to help young people develop skills and attitudes that will help them in all aspects of their future lives.
I have done some coaching at a few schools for the Chance to Shine initiative.
What is the aim of Chance to Shine?The Cricket Foundation’s Chance to shine campaign aims to regenerate competitive cricket in a third of all state schools in England and Wales and bring the benefits of competitive cricket to two million state school children. Chance to shine recognises the power of competitive cricket to help young people acquire skills, values and attitudes. It is a campaign to enhance education, to promote aspiration, to encourage inclusion and to create cohesive communities.How can cricket help Young People?Competition and all team-sports can play a vital role in the education and personal development of young people through opportunities to lead healthy, purposeful lives. Cricket, in particular, can promote leadership, team work and strategic awareness. It is the ultimate team game, demanding both individual and collective responsibility. Cricket can draw together people from all cultures and backgrounds and gives opportunities to boys and girls, as well as to those with special educational needs.
How does the Chance to Shine Programme work?Chance to shine is a national campaign delivered through individual projects taking place throughout every part of England and Wales. Each project provides a structured coaching and competition programme for a group of six primary and secondary state schools. The group of schools is supported by professional, qualified coaches engaged by one local cricket club. The programme will expand each year through an additional 100 clubs and 600 schools and, subject to funding, will ultimately reach one third of all state schools and support two million young people, initially, over a ten-year period.
How are you paying for the scheme?The Cricket Foundation aims to raise £25 million of private funding, through individual donors and corporate partners, to create sustainable cricket cultures in state schools and the Government is committed to matching all funds raised £ for £How can my club / school become involved?If your club is recognised by its local county cricket board
(CCB) as a ‘focus club’ and is Club-Mark accredited, you should contact your CCB
to register your interest to become involved. If you are a state school and want
to benefit from the scheme, please make contact with your CCB who will be able
to supply you with information on how the scheme works. More Info boxes: |
