Year 1 have been put through their paces by English cricket player, Paul Baker. The fully-qualified coach has been helping them learn the game as part of their PE programme and the budding stars of tomorrow have loved every minute of it.
The sessions have been varied and fun and the drills simple and easy to learn. With every session, the teachers have seen the children’s catching, throwing, batting and bowling improving. The children have particularly enjoyed the little competitions and the actual game of cricket that each session ends with.
Paul, who was recently forced to retire from the game due to injury, commented that it had been a real pleasure for him to be helping out with the coaching and that he thinks the children have shown real talent and great potential.
