We’re excited to announce that St Christopher’s Prep School and Nursery is a sponsor of Bovey Tracey Cricket Club.
Why Cricket is Great for Kids
Cricket is more than just a game; it’s a fantastic way for children to develop important life skills. Playing cricket teaches kids about teamwork, discipline, and strategic thinking. It helps improve their physical fitness, hand-eye coordination, and reflexes. Cricket also encourages children to respect rules and play fairly, which are valuable lessons both on and off the field.
Participation in cricket can boost self-esteem and confidence as children achieve their personal and team goals. Additionally, the social aspect of cricket helps kids make new friends and learn the importance of communication and collaboration.
Cricket at St Christopher’s
At St Christopher’s Prep School and Nursery, we integrate cricket into our summer term activities. Our students look forward to the cricket season every year. During this time, they receive coaching and participate in matches that help them hone their skills and enjoy the spirit of competition.
Our cricket programme is designed to be inclusive, ensuring that all students can experience the joy of the game.
