Free Resources

Explore our growing collection of free tools, games, and guides to support youth-led change through cricket.

These resources are designed for coaches, educators, young leaders, and community organisations who want to use sport to spark discussion, build confidence, and make change happen.

Cricket Changemakers is an approach that supports young people to lead change in their communities – using cricket as the spark. It brings together inclusive coaching, critical reflection, and youth-led action to address issues that matter. 

These materials have been developed by coaches and youth leaders involved in Cricket Changemaker projects. They are designed to support inclusive, engaging, and transformative coaching.

Whether you're working in schools, communities, or clubs, these tools will help you:

• Create safe and welcoming spaces for girls and boys
• Use cricket to explore topics like life skills and gender equality
• Support young people to lead, reflect, and grow through sport

All activities have been tested in real settings across Nepal and Rwanda, and can be adapted to suit your own context.

Our research summaries share what we’ve learned from working with young people, coaches, and communities in Nepal, Rwanda, and beyond.

These share key findings on:

• Gender norm change through sport
• Youth-led research and action
• The impact of play-based, participatory methods
• What helps – and what hinders – inclusive cricket programmes

Each summary is grounded in real-world experience and co-produced with local Changemakers. We hope they spark ideas, reflection, and action in your own work.
