All Stars Cricket<br />
2017 saw the introduction of the ECB’s All Stars Cricket (ASC)<br />
programme. Despite very short time scales to implement the<br />
plans, 50 Hampshire clubs took up the challenge! It proved a<br />
hugely successful way to recruit children that would not have<br />
otherwise attended traditional club cricket sessions. As ever,<br />
the unrivalled success of the programme was due to an army<br />
of dedicated club volunteers, new and old!<br />
The national feedback from parents and participants<br />
underlines exactly how well clubs did in providing the best<br />
possible first experience of cricket for 5 to 8 year olds:<br />
• 50 centres (nearly 75% of clubs in Hampshire with a<br />
junior section got involved!)<br />
• 1300 participants recruited in Hampshire<br />
• 96 Activators recruited and trained in Hampshire<br />
• 71% of kids and parents were new to cricket<br />
• 85% intend to return in <strong>2018</strong><br />
• 95% of clubs saw increased number of kids participating<br />
• 41% saw siblings joining other age group teams<br />
• Opportunity – only 18% girls and 5% BAME<br />
