A 12 month community programme will be created, using Cricket as a vehicle for engagement, catering for children, young adults and community groups. Over the last 15 years, Cricket participation numbers have declined at a higher rate than other team sports. Welsh Government also estimates health implications costing over £650 million p/a, due to physical inactivity. To counter these trends, Newport Cricket Club’s project to increase participation through organised weekly coaching sessions
The Club's new Community Cricket Project will offer 48 'Free Places' for coaching sessions to U10 children (Boys & Girls) and will hopefully see a large increase in participation numbers. The increased numbers will create 4 new Junior teams (Boys U7, U9 & U11's and Girls U12). Demands on the Club's grass wickets (used predominantly by seniors) is already at breaking point, so a new artificial wicket costing £12,500 is urgently required to cope with the increased demand.
Since relocating to Spytty Park thirty years ago, the Club has battled with the very poor water supply. Thirty years ago, we didn’t even have a ground, so an adequate water supply was the least of our worries. Welsh Water say that they can’t solve the daily problems we face, so a stand-alone water irrigation system is essential for the club to be sustainable in the future and to continue to provide high standard facilities for future generations of Newport youngsters to learn to play the game.
