All Stars Cricket
All Stars Cricket is an activity-packed children’s cricket programme for boys and girls aged five to eight. Through eight weeks they will learn lots – as well as make new friends – in a safe and inclusive environment.
The programme is designed to introduce children to the sport, teaching them new skills, helping them make new friends and have a great time doing so.
All Stars Cricket is a national programme, which runs in local cricket clubs. The 2024 programme will run throughout May, June, July and August over 60 centres across our county.
Limited FREE Programmes Available
A number of free courses (normally £30) are available to book in late summer to allow more opportunities for boys and girls to be involved.
Please note that to be eligible, you have to live in the local area of the cricket club:
All girls and boys are welcome, and each registered child will receive a participant pack, including:
- Personalised Shirt with Name
All children returning to All Stars will receive a personalised t-shirt.
All children, registered on a programme across Durham, will also receive a Durham Cricket sticker book on the first day of the programme in your chosen centre.
By registering for All Stars Cricket, your child will be guaranteed eight weeks of jam-packed fun, activity and skills development.
