Grassroots Sport

Grassroots cricket development is a vital pillar in the Durham County Cricket Foundation and with the support of Tesco; the Foundation has been able to put together a cricket development programme for the region. This programme includes school coaching, holiday coaching camps, match-day coaching opportunities, club coaching and other individual coaching events

Durham Cricket Foundation runs coaching activities during the Easter, summer half term and summer holidays. These are both multi-day holiday camps and cricketing masterclasses led by expert coaches and Durham players. During the cricket season there are also several match-day coaching opportunities.

Durham Cricket Foundation also works with several schools delivering coaching sessions in schools and then bringing those schools to the Riverside for a matchday experience. The coaching programme is not just limited to schools, with Durham coaches attending several cricket events and club events per summer.

Durham County Cricket Foundation uses all the international standard resources the Riverside has to offer and with the valuable support of Tesco has been able to implement a coaching programme aimed at enthusing and developing many young cricketers across the region.
