Lincolnshire Cricket and Grimsby Town Foundation announce new partnership as part of the Premier League Kicks Programme
The partnership, which launches its first session on 18th September from 5-6pm at Ormiston Maritime Academy’s Sports Hall, will provide young people aged 8-15 in the local community with FREE, year-round cricket and football sessions.
The project which will take place every Wednesday, aims to promote physical activity, build teamwork and leadership skills, and offer a fun, engaging environment for participants to thrive.
Benefits of the partnership for participants will include:
- Multi-sport sessions led by trained coaches, designed to introduce and develop both cricket and football skills.
- Opportunities for young people to participate in community matches and tournaments, representing Grimsby Town Foundation.
- A focus on social development, using sport to boost confidence, improve mental health, and foster a sense of belonging within the community.
- Workshops
Justin Owen, Lincolnshire Cricket’s Head of Participation and Growth commented, “The involvement of young people in a wide range of sports activities will help them develop a wide range of physical skills, as well as encouraging teamwork, resilience and confidence.”
“The combination of cricket and football allows them to gain a better understanding of sportsmanship, and gives them the chance to develop a passion for sport. Sport has the ability to bring young people together and we aim to harness this to develop the foundations of a stronger local community.”
