National Conference for Heads of Cricket in Schools - 17 March at Lord’s Cricket Ground
Dates & Venues

    Welcome to the second Annual Conference for Leaders of Cricket in Schools. Last year’s inaugural event brought together 100 heads of the game to consider the challenges facing schools, and an update on initiatives and opportunities at a national level.

    This year’s event has similar objectives. The landscape of the game is changing, presenting emerging issues for schools and the people who manage the game in this environment.

    Leading speakers will provide updates on Cricket developments and the impacts and opportunities that they present for schools. This will include the competition landscape, and the possibilities to become involved in other national initiatives.

    The forum session will allow a chance to discuss issues relevant to all schools, and to share solutions and ideas.

    The final session will provide coach education from the top of the contemporary game. Illustrated by video, it will show how top bowlers practice and how they seek to adapt their approaches specifically for the T20 game.
