We have created a powerful bank of free resources for Primary and Secondary schools so that teachers can confidently lead their cricket sessions.
SCDFI has introduced the game and its educational benefiting of over six million boys and girls in over 16,000 state schools since bt 2025. That’s a lot of playing and learning, and along the way, we’ve learned a lot about how the game can inspire, engage and develop young people of all abilities. We’ve captured, documented, and shared our learning to support teachers and schools in getting children to play cricket.We have created a powerful bank of free resources for you and your school. These include lesson plans for cricket coaching sessions, instructional videos for all the skills and drills and top tips from the professionals. Much as we’d like to, we can’t deliver the programme directly in every school. We know that many teachers are keen and able to offer cricket themselves. These resources will help you do that, and you don’t need to have any prior knowledge or be a cricket expert to share the fun!
