One of the most important benefits of cricket for children is that it helps to promote physical fitness. Cricket involves running, jumping, catching, throwing and hitting, all of which help to improve a child’s overall fitness levels.

Alongside the physical benefits, it also provides numerous mental benefits for children. Playing cricket requires concentration, focus and strategic thinking, all of which help to improve children’s mental abilities.

If you are looking for the perfect fun, encouraging and exciting cricket classes for your little one, didi cricket is the ideal place.

The spread of didi cricket is continuing at pace with children at a primary school in Gloucestershire the latest to enjoy a fun-filled session.

Highnam C of E Primary Academy provided a very hospitable welcome and some of their pupils showed some fantastic hand/eye co-ordination while enjoying games with coach, Keith Smith.

“didi cricket has been evolving for a number of months now and, as a didi rugby coach in the area, I have been excited to be able to offer this new sport too,” said Keith.

“It’s great to get into Highnam School and tie that in with the launch of some pilot classes in Stoke Orchard in late January/early February.

“It is a different sport but the same ethos as didi rugby. The games are different but we are looking at getting kids active and having fun with sport.

“So far, it has been going down an absolute storm.

Highnam Primary Academy

Steve Dean is the headteacher at Highnam C of E Primary Academy and he said he was happy to welcome didi cricket into the school.

“I am a keen advocate of cricket myself and play for the local Highnam team,” said Mr Dean. “So I want to see cricket being developed in schools locally.

“Maybe the children will end up playing locally in years to come, or for the county, or even for England.”
