Educational Opportunities

MIDDLESEX EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

Middlesex Cricket is delighted to release a new Educational Opportunities programme, with coaching programmes tailored to suit schools around the County.

There are lots of opportunities for staff and students at every school across Middlesex to get involved in cricket, and we are looking to make it as accessible as possible by bringing training, mentoring and coaching courses to them.

Please email Sharon Eyers with any questions about the Educational Opportunities programme.
