Lewis McManus To Offer Wicket-Keeping Masterclass During Half-Term Coaching Courses

Hampshire Cricket will again be running half-term coaching courses next week, providing young, aspiring cricketers between the ages of 6-15 the opportunity to develop their game.

All courses will cover the essential skills of batting, bowling and fielding, with sessions conducted by ECB qualifed coaches within the The Ageas Bowl's Indoor School.

First-team wicket-keeper batsman, Lewis McManus will be on hand to provide coaching and tips for any aspiring keepers, as part of a wicket-keeping masterclass on 25th October.

Two two-day coaching courses are also available, with the first taking place on the 23rd and 24th October and the second between the 26th and 27th October.

The skill level for each of these courses is distinguished by a simple banding system, with a range of bands available to suit all ages and abilities.

The ‘Green’ band is designed for beginners between 6-10 years of age, where youngsters will look to pick up the fundamentals of cricket, whilst the ‘Red’ band is set for 8-13 year olds who currently play the game for their school or local cricket club and want to build on their skills in a fun and enjoyable environment.

The ‘Orange’ band is designed for 8-15 year olds, who have previously played junior cricket and have represented a regional team, with the final 'Blue' band set for 10-15 year olds that have represented the county's junior or regional sides regularly.
