1V Cricket Academy was founded in 2017 to provide cricket coaching and development for boys and girls from age six upwards within Blackburn.

The Academy started with a small group but has now developed into three distinct sessions on a Sunday morning/afternoon at Blackburn Youth Zone.

The children are supervised by staff who are qualified in Level 1 and Level 2 ECB Cricket coaches.  Each each training session lasts an hour. The emphasis is on fun while making lasting friendships, improving health and of course learning how to play cricket.

A registration fee of £15 is payable for a new kit. Session fees are £10 per month (or four sessions).
