Hard Ball Cricket Fundays(Ages 9 to 11)
Hard ball coaching with nets and matches
Shine Sports Ground, BS6
Shine Cricket Funday offers an innovative and fun based cricket coaching programme for those who wish to improve their skills and knowledge in the UK's most popular summer sport. The day long activity is based at the Shine Sports Ground and provides an opportunity for children to enjoy nets and drills led by Shine's team of qualified, experienced coaches. Please note the children may make a short walk to use the facilities at Golden Hill Cricket Club, which means by booking this activity you are agreeing for your child to be walked off site.
This activity would suit children who are already playing hardball, or would like to improve their skills by using a mixture of Hard Ball and Wind Ball to gain confidence.
Shine do have a limited amount of kit you can borrow but we do ask that you provide your own if you can.
