Be an Activator for the All Stars Cricket Programme (Summer 2018)

swillmott / / Positions, Volunteering

Volunteer Activators are being sought for the ECB’s All Stars Cricket programme – a scheme aimed at developing the movement skills of 5 to 8-year olds and increasing their interest in cricket. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to gain experience that will relate to coaching or teaching. Training is provided, and there is the flexibility for students to receive that in Lincoln or back at home. Similarly the volunteering in the Summer can be at any club that is involved in All Stars Cricket. Students from any sporting background are welcome! A novel feature of the programme is an emphasis on inviting parents to participate in activities, and the training also covers interactions with parents.

Our  local coordinator is Justin Owen of Lincolnshire Cricket, and the slides from a recent information session can be found here: Uni ASC Activator presentation. Details of the scheme and its benefits are given. Justin can be contacted at justin.owen@lincscricket.co.uk

On Thursday 30th November the School will be hosting its annual Opportunities Fair – bringing many of our partner organisations together into one place where you can hear more about opportunities to work with them, and having the chance to speak with them on an informal basis. This is the best chance during the year for all the School’s students to connect with organisations both external to and inside the University, and find out about their opportunities. Each organisation will give a one-minute introduction to themselves and their openings, after which there will be time to meet their staff. Refreshments will be provided.

When: Thursday 30th November at 5pm or 6pm
Where: Biomechanics Lab
Who: Essential for all students
