Upton Cricket Club is excited to announce that for the first time, we will be hosting the All Stars Cricket programme for the 2026 season—an exciting opportunity for young children to take their first steps into the game.

Starting on Monday 11th May, the programme will run for 8 weeks, offering fun, engaging sessions designed to introduce children to cricket in a safe and supportive environment.

What is All Stars Cricket?
All Stars Cricket is a nationwide initiative from the England and Wales Cricket Board, created specifically for children aged 5–8 who are new to the sport.

The programme is all about:

• Fun and activity in a relaxed setting
• Simple skills development through games and challenges
• Building confidence and teamwork
• Making new friends and enjoying time outdoors

Each session is designed to keep children active and engaged, with a strong focus on enjoyment rather than competition. It’s the perfect introduction for any child curious about cricket.

As part of the programme, every child who signs up will also receive an All Stars Cricket pack, which includes a bat, ball, backpack and other cricket-themed goodies.

A Great First Step into Cricket
All Stars Cricket is a fantastic way for children to get involved in sport, learn new skills and build confidence in a friendly club environment.

For families looking to continue their cricket journey beyond All Stars, Upton Cricket Club also offers a full junior training programme for older age groups running throughout the summer.

We’re delighted to be bringing All Stars to the club for the first time and can’t wait to welcome our newest young players in May. ?
