This programme aims to increase participation via a fast and fun combination of cricket skills and HIIT training.
CricHIIT is a fun exercise programme designed to encourage females to try cricket by combining HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) principles with basic cricket skills. Sessions ideally run in a block of 6-8 weeks to experience the benefits of the HIIT training programme.
By adding basic cricket skills, we hope to give females the confidence to have a go a cricket, initially in a softball format. 45-minute session plans have been created by the Cricket Scotland Strength & Conditioning Team at three levels to cater for all levels of fitness.
CricHIIT is administered and delivered by Cricket Ireland in partnership with the Provincial Unions. CricHIIT Activators can be trained by their local PU CricHIIT Activator Trainer and will receive a CricHIIT resource guide complete with 18 sessions along with a CricHIIT t-shirt and zip-top. Once registered and trained, CricHIIT Activators can deliver sessions at their local Club, school or community setting.
Clubs and Schools wishing to run the CricHIIT programme must have public liability insurance cover and a trained CricHIIT Activator.
