Isle of Man Cricket Association will also be running CricKids sessions this year at the same venue.

The popular programme aims to provide a great first experience of cricket for boys and girls. The focus is on developing children’s movement and athletic skills, plus very basic cricket skills.

Mums, dads and family members can have valuable time with their kids as family members are encouraged to take part too.

The first CricKids block also gets underway this weekend, starting on Sunday, January 18 and continuing until Sunday, February 15.

Sessions take place between 10-10.50am and costs £25 per block, and will be delivered by IoMCA coach Sally Green. They are open to children aged between three to seven years old.
