Free Teacher Cricket CPD - School and Teacher Sign Up Info

Please see below all the information you will need to sign both your school and teachers up to the training which will then ensure you will receive the free kit (worth around £400 and includes stumps, carbon fibre bats, balls and cones).

Apologies there a couple of forms to complete, but hopefully worth it for free training and kit.

School Sign Up

All schools who have a teacher attending the training will need to sign up (as well as the individual teachers). This only needs to be done once and ideally by the Head of PE. To sign your school up please click the link below.

School Sign Up Link

To ensure you get your free kit bag after the training please ensure you set up a shopify account (section 4 of the sign up).

Following sign up we will send a form to you to find out what cricket takes place in your school currently so that we can understand the impact the programme has.

Teacher Sign Up

Could you please share the below with all of your staff (please feel free to share this with wider school staff, TA’s etc. as well. The more staff on the course the better!)

Every member of staff will need to individually sign up and they are welcome to attend any one of the courses below. Once signed up we will email all the information required for the training in advance of the day.
