Cricket
Sporting Schools is an Australian Government initiative designed to help schools to increase children's participation in sport, and to connect them with community sporting opportunities.
At cricket, we exist to bring people together through play by providing amazing first experiences and a lifelong love of the game. We empower teachers to deliver quality cricket programs in schools through guidance and quality resources to achieve curriculum outcomes with students. Our resources include.
- School Ambassador Program – The program aims to enhance a teacher’s capacity to deliver on curriculum outcomes whilst getting students healthy and active.
- Mascot Challenge (Lower Primary) – A free 4-week program that has kids spending 10 minutes a day developing fundamental movement skills that will lay the foundation for them to lead a healthy and active life.
- Woolworths Cricket Blast Health & PE (Primary/Secondary) – A four-week curriculum aligned program that is fun and exciting for students of all abilities and is simple for teachers to deliver, regardless of their cricket knowledge.
- All Abilities Program – In partnership with Special Olympics Australia (SOA), this Cricket For All handbook is designed to cater for students of All Abilities. Specifically, this guide ensures to include SOA's tips and recommendation for teaching styles, setting simple rules and utilising equipment in a manner which allows students with special needs to participate freely.
