“It’s playing cricket again, that’s the best thing for me.” 🏏 💚

After retiring early due to ill health, Ally came along to a walking cricket taster session and everything changed.

It helped him feel stronger. More confident. More like himself again.

It’s more than a game. It’s connection, movement and confidence.

🏏 Combine academic study with elite cricket development 🏏

Worcestershire Cricket Foundation is delighted to announce the WCF SACS Sixth Form Cricket Programme at Christopher Whitehead Language College & Sixth Form launching September 2027.

SACS (Student Academic Cricket Scholar) gives keen and talented cricketers aged 16 to 18 a clear pathway to develop their game alongside their education. WCF joins Surrey CCC and Kent CCC, who already deliver similar programmes.

What students receive:
✅ High-level coaching from WCF and Pathway staff
✅ A strength and conditioning programme
✅ ECB coaching courses
✅ Employability workshops covering sales, marketing, media, groundskeeping and more

The workshops give students a real insight into cricket as a business and build skills they'll use throughout their careers.

📅 Find out more at the Christopher Whitehead open evening on Thursday 8 October, 6pm to 8pm.
