What is Chance to Shine

Chance to shine is a national campaign delivered through individual projects taking place throughout every part of England and Wales.

Each project provides a structured coaching and competition programme for a group of, on average, six primary and secondary state schools. The group of schools is supported by professional, qualified coaches engaged by one local cricket club.

In addition to training the coaches to work in a school environment, we also provide equipment, facility development and training for teachers and coaches.

In 2008, Chance to shine delivered 300 projects involving 300 cricket clubs and engaging over 2,000 schools. The programme will expand each year through an additional 100 clubs and 600 schools and, subject to funding, will ultimately reach one third of all state schools and support two million young people, initially, over a ten-year period.
