Coaching Boost for Local Schools
Launch of 'Chance to Shine' Coaching Programme

Under the Cricket Foundation's 'Chance to Shine' scheme, our four-year coaching programme was launched last week.  Working in conjunction with the Thurrock School Sport Partnership, we are pleased to have made arrangements for cricket education/coaching for no less than 20 primary schools in the borough participating and will benefit around 400-500 boys and girls.

Believed to be the first 'Chance to Shine' programme to be launched in the UK in 2012, this really is a tremendous boost for local schools and schoolchildren who would not otherwise have the opportunity to learn about and play this great game of cricket.

Our grateful thanks to everyone who has worked hard to make this possible, and who will continue to be involved in the ongoing project.  For further information, please visit our 'Chance to Shine' webpage... Chance to Shine
