Win a coaching session for your class at Lord's

We have teamed up with ESPNCricinfo again to give children a fantastic opportunity to be coached at Lord's this summer.

ESPNCricinfo are offering a class of 30 lucky children the chance to win a junior coaching session with two former international players at Lord's Cricket Ground on Wednesday June 13th 2012.

The coaching session, run by a professional cricket coach, will be from 9.30 am - 11.30 am, and will be full of fun games and drills, catering for children of all cricketing abilities. Following the session, the children will be taken on an hour's tour of the historic grounds followed by lunch.

Schools need to arrive for 9am, and leave Lord's at 1pm. You will need to make your own transport arrangements.
