“We’re delighted to have Altius on board”: Cricket coaches delighted to seal a sponsorship deal
Fylde Coast Cricket Coaching has teamed up with a new sponsor
A cricket coaching company which delivers programmes across the area has been hit for six after securing a new sponsorship deal.
Fylde Coast Cricket Coaching has teamed up with Preston-based business broker Altius, which is backing its ‘Cricket for Life’ programme.
That concept provides opportunities for youngsters via the Cubs group, along with Walking Cricket which is for participants of any age and any level of cricketing experience.
Bobby Denning, Fylde Coast Cricket Coaching’s co-owner, said: “We have varied initiatives running across Lancashire.
“Our aim is to provide high-quality cricket coaching throughout the year and give access for as many people as possible to enjoy the game at different levels.
“Fylde Coast Cricket Cubs was created for four to eight-year-olds to experience cricket in a nurturing environment where they can get active, learn new skills and have fun.
“For those who want to keep on the move but at a slower pace, our Walking Cricket is an enjoyable, welcoming group.
“We’re delighted to have Altius on board as sponsors of these programmes, which provide fun experiences across the ages.”
The Walking Cricket sessions take place at Thornton, The Harbour Blackpool, Garstang and Darwen, while the Cubs programme is held at Weeton.
Teresa Deeney, head of marketing at the Altius Group, added: “Altius Group is committed to supporting initiatives that have a positive impact on the lives of people within our local communities.
“We are delighted to give our support to Fylde Coast Cricket Cubs and Walking Cricket.
“Both groups offer a fun, welcoming environment across age groups.
“Bobby and his team have plans to expand these initiatives which just shows the popularity of the Cricket for Life concept.
“We hope, with our support, to see the groups grow further.”
