Free Cricket Clubs In Chesterfield
At the Derbyshire Cricket Foundation, they want to make cricket the most inclusive sport and for every person to say “cricket is a game for me”.
With this in mind, they have gained funding for 3 free all-year-round cricket opportunities in the Chesterfield area.
Wicketz Hub at Mary Swanwick Primary School (ages 8-19)
Street Cricket Club at Hasland Hall (ages 8-15)
Girls Only Street Club at Outwood Academy Newbold (Ages 8-15)
Attached are the posters for each venue and if you are interested in joining, please use the QR code, or contact pete.boot@dcfcricket.com
If you could send out the posters to parents/guardians, or put them up around your school, we would really appreciate it.
If your school is interested in cricket activities, please contact james.colton@dcfcricket.com
Sheffield Schools Bouldering Competition 2025
(Derbyshire Schools have kindly been invited to take part in this event)
The Climbing Works are delighted to announce that registration is open for the 2025 Sheffield and Greater Sheffield Schools Bouldering competition.
This is a fun, inclusive competition, offering a new experience for many who enter. This year, the top 5 qualifying schools along with 4 schools selected at random will take part in the finals for each category (primary/secondary). An additional space in the finals will be reserved for a SEN school.
Primary Schools: Engage and widen participation
They want to welcome as many new climbers as possible and offer the opportunity to those who wouldn't normally have access to climbing, rather than those who already climb regularly. We ask teachers to follow this criteria when selecting their participants. If your pupils are experienced climbers, we still want to see them compete in our youth events later in the year. Some of our competitions include the Summer Youth Cup in June, and The Young Climbers Festival in August.
How does the competition run?
All registered schools will take part in a 2-hour qualification round booked between 8 January - 7 February.
10 Sheffield Primary and Secondary schools will be invited to take part in a FUN and FREE final on the 12th March.
10 Greater Sheffield (inc Derbyshire) Primary and Secondary schools will be invited to take part in a FUN and FREE final on the 13th March.
This year you will be able to book optional practice sessions prior to the qualification rounds. This means that your school can brush up on their climbing skills and go into the qualification rounds feeling confident. These can be booked throughout November and December, depending on availability.
How to enter?
To enter a team, you will need to register.
Primary schools click here - Primary teams can be made up of year 5 and 6 pupils only.
All teams must have male and female competitors.
Once you have registered you will be sent a link to book a qualification slot.
How do the qualification rounds work?
Each school will have 2 hours to try the qualification blocs (8-12 climbs), with points being scored on how many of the climbs get topped and the number of attempts.
The top 6 scores from your school will be added up to give your school an overall score. Each school's score must include at least one male and female.
Qualification rounds will end on the 7th February and schools will be notified if they have made it to the final.

We are excited to share the release of the free Inclusive Physical Education e-learning course as part of the Inclusion 2024 programme investment. This course has 10 bite-size modules that have been designed to increase teachers’, teaching assistants, sports practitioners and the wider school workforce in the knowledge and confidence to deliver inclusive PE and school sport. The content has been redeveloped with the support of Leeds Beckett University and Lead Inclusion Schools to ensure the information is informative and relevant to practitioners. Each section contains an introduction, key facts, space for self-reflection on current practice, tips on how to improve your practice and a handy additional resource page. A certificate is provided after each module, in addition to the completion of all ten modules.
