How’zat For Sporting Fun With Little Wickets Cricket sessions for little ones across Nottingham and now new sessions launching in Southwell... Little Wickets is the brain child of Chloe Williams. Back in 2008, as the mother of a two year old son and pregnant with her second child (and with a husband wishing he had time to play more cricket), Chloe was on the lookout for something fun and active for her kid(s) to be involved in. If it involved cricket maybe Dad might enjoy it too. She was inspired by all the great cricketing activities available in her local area but none of them catered for really little ones. So she started something up herself.

Little Wickets believe in encouraging children to partipicate in sport for life. Which is why they keep their sessions small to enable them to deliver excellent coaching with the emphasise on learning and fun. “Whatever the kids’ ages the emphasis is always about joining in and having fun. The kids are having so much fun they don’t realise the FUNdamental physical and life sills they are learning” For more information on Little Wickets sessions and camps go to www.littlewickets.com

What does your baby want to tell you? “Fantastic class that my son and I truly love!” “Educational. entertaining and enthusiastic baby signing classes.” “Watching babies start to communicate is amazing.” “Partytastic classes!” “Friendly and always happy to see each other and every child!” “Baby signing is wonderful - and so worthwhile, giving your baby ‘a voice’.”
