The Apprentice: You're hired

Forget the drama of the boardroom, the up-and-coming talents of Chance to Shine are out on the playground and in sports halls around the country. One-in-three Chance to Shine Street coaches were once participants and in Bristol a young cricketer is the next to follow that path.
Hospital Schools

Spending time in hospital due to illness can be a very difficult and scary experience, particularly for children, and often means missing out on mainstream school and the opportunity to take part in physical activity. For those children, attending a Hospital School can help to reduce the impact of their illness on their education.
Mental wellbeing

Chance to Shine works to support and develop the mental wellbeing of young people through playing cricket. Cricket can have a positive impact on children in state schools and communities across the country.
Chance to Shine Schools needs your support

We need your help to ensure Chance to Shine can continue to keep children active, and support their mental, personal and social wellbeing.

Free school resources

Chance to Shine has built a powerful bank of free cricket teaching resources for primary schools so teachers can lead their own cricket sessions. The resources include lesson plans, instructional videos and top tips.
About us

Chance to Shine is a national cricket charity that works in state schools and communities to spread the power of cricket. We believe that all children should be given the opportunity to play and learn through cricket. We believe that cricket teaches children valuable skills like communication, teamwork and respect that will benefit them for the rest of their lives.
Street cricket

Chance to Shine Street cricket is fast, fun and free. It's played with a tapeball and requires no protective equipment. It's cricket's answer to five-a-side football.
Primary schools

Chance to Shine work in state primary schools across England and Wales supporting schools to deliver cricket coaching to their pupils. We teach cricket in primary schools and support teachers with free resources including lesson plans, videos and tips from the professionals.

The challenge

Chance to Shine believes in how the power of cricket can help children from state schools and deprived communities. We know that many children are missing out on the benefits of physical eduction particularly girls, those from a BAME background and from a lower socio-economic background.
Staying active during the COVID-19 outbreak

Chance to Shine have developed stay at home cricket activities for children and young people. Weekly skills sessions are aimed at helping parents and teachers to homeschool children with physical education ideas.
