Walking Cricket
Walking Cricket gives the opportunity for people to play a format of the game that may be seen as more accessible than other current formats. As the name suggests the game is played at walking place and as well as delivering cricketing skills to players who may not have played for a while, or for new players. The format provides an exciting way to keeping active and fit.
Aimed at people over the age of 55, the game also is able to provide an opportunity for people to socialise and get involved in a very interesting format of the game.
Thanks to a funding from Sport Across Staffordshire, Walking Cricket sessions are running weekly on a Monday at the Excel Academy, Sneyd Green, Stoke on Trent, 6-7.30pm, come along and get involved.
