This week it’s time to complete your communication activity. Cricketers need to communicate well with each other all the time.

When fielding the batter might hit the ball in the air near to you so you should call out your name so nobody tries to catch it too. Also, when you are batting you need to decide with your partner whether you are going to run or not.

This one is going to be fun - it’s batting week! When you hit the ball it’s a great feeling! Just make sure you watch the ball, swing the bat back and then give it a whack!

Are you a good runner?

Great - you are going to love this week! Players have to do lots of running in Cricket. Whether you are fielding a ball, running between the wickets to score runs, or charging into bowl, you need to keep on running.

Now you are part of the All Stars Cricket team, it’s time we complete the teamwork activity! In cricket every player must work together to help each other be the best they can be. Bowlers need their fielders to catch and stop the ball, batters need to run well together and everybody needs to cheer on each other all the time.

So, you’ll have done lots of bowling at your All Stars Cricket sessions already, so it’s definitely the right time for you to complete the bowling activity!

Sometimes bowling can be a little bit tricky, so make sure you listen out for the tips your activator gives you. Don’t worry if you can’t do it right away, just try and look at the target and keep your bowling arm straight. Practice, practice, practice!

Just one more week to go now, and this week,

you’ll be completing your throwing activity! As

a fielder, throwing is very important to stop the

other team scoring.

You need to try and throw the ball as quick and as straight as you can to the wicket keeper or bowler, and if you hit the stumps, you may even run the batter out!

It’s got to the final week and you have learnt a lot of cricket skills. Now it’s time to have a match so you’ll need to complete your ‘Spirit of Cricket’

exercise. This is something very special in cricket. All cricketers need to play fairly, cheer each other on and be kind to your opponents. But most of all keep smiling and have fun!
