KEY STAGE 1 FESTIVALS
BOYS & GIRLS
During the summer there will be a number of Key Stage 1 Festivals that schools in Somerset can attend. These festivals will take place at local cricket clubs and will either be run in small clusters, where schools can bring a whole class, or SGO regions where schools can bring up to 12 pupils.
The festivals will involve a number of activities that pupils will rotate around practising their batting, bowling, fielding and teamworking skills. The festivals are a fantastic opportunity for pupils to practise their skills but to also visit a local cricket club and find out how they can continue playing through All Stars Cricket.
Schools will receive information regarding festivals local to them but if you would like to know more please contact our Schools & Coaching Manager using the online form below.
