Registrations are now officially open for the 2026 season’s All Stars Cricket and Dynamos Cricket programmes, cricket’s youth entry-level initiatives, offering children aged 5 to 11 across Berkshire the chance to get active and enjoy the game.
Programmes will run in clubs across the region this summer, giving young people the opportunity to spend more time outdoors, develop new skills and make friends in a fun environment.
All Stars Cricket is an eight-week programme designed to give young children their first experience of the game in a safe, supportive setting. Sessions are packed with fun activities that help develop essential movement skills while building confidence and teamwork.
Dynamos Cricket is a next-step programme for children aged 8 to 11, running for a minimum of six weeks. Sessions last between 60 and 90 minutes and focus on gameplay, teamwork and enjoyment. It’s ideal for both children progressing from All Stars and those completely new to cricket.
Both programmes are built around creating positive first experiences in sport. Whether it’s learning new skills, building friendships or simply enjoying being active, participants are supported every step of the way.
These entry-level programmes saw an increase in gender balance, with 33% of All Stars participants being girls and an outstanding 49% of Dynamos participants being girls, a milestone we are particularly proud of as it reflects parity in participation.
Last year saw nearly 2,000 participants across Berkshire take part in cricket for the first time through All Stars and Dynamos, highlighting the growing impact of grassroots cricket in the region.
Children who sign up to All Stars Cricket will receive an exclusive participant pack, including a backpack, cricket bat, ball and a personalised shirt, helping them feel part of the game from day one.
Similarly, those joining Dynamos Cricket will benefit from a New Balance personalised t-shirt, access to exclusive Hundred Topps Wild Cards and the Dynamos Cricket app, which offers a range of additional content.
With sessions taking place across local clubs throughout Berkshire, families are encouraged to secure their place early and be part of a summer of cricket.
