Teachers' Resources from Chance to Shine
New Free Resources for Teachers from Chance to Shine to help spread the power of cricket
Founded in 2005, Chance to Shine is a charitable organisation which helps to provide new skills to children and teachers in schools around the country. Along with
the Staffordshire County Board, Chance to Shine works alongside 38 other county boards across England and Wales where we aim to give all children the opportunity to play, learn and develop through cricket.
Chance to Shine offers a free online portal (to find out more click here) that teachers are able to sign up to that provides session plans from KS1 to KS3 for not only the playground but also in the classroom too. These sessions include fundamental movement skills, the basics of cricket as well as involvement in countrywide competition
There is also the opportunity for Chance to Shine Street, which offers cricket to thousands more children in urban areas where it uses the game to increase aspiration, promoting social cohesion and creating more opportunities in diverse areas.
Aiming to provide excellence in the schools and on the streets of Staffordshire we have 6 level two coaches to provide the best experience we can as well as providing links to local clubs. Our amazing coaches are:
Stuart Baker: Schools Cricket Manager
Claire Bailey: North Staffs Schools Cricket Officer
Charlotte Whyle: South Staffs Schools Cricket Officer
Kathryn Whyle: South Staffs Schools Cricket Officer
You are able to contact them here if you are interested in what we can offer. Reaching over three million boys and girls this would be a perfect opportunity for children to get more active and involved in a sport that offers so much.
