Little Wickets

"Running my Little Wickets franchise is an incredibly rewarding experience - I get to make a difference in my community and spread the joy of team sport... and cricket of course! I have a full time career and a young family but am able to fit in the necessary work around that and grow the business at a healthy rate. Chloe and the team have been so supportive since I started, consistently going above and beyond what I had expected in terms of the support and guidance offered. They have a wealth of experience and wisdom to tap into which has proven to be invaluable in not just helping to get up and running but to maintain and grow too. I would highly recommend joining the Little Wickets family."

Little Wickets

Chloe Williams

Little Wickets began in 2011 when I couldn’t find fun, high-quality cricket sessions for my own young children — so I decided to create them! What started as a simple idea has grown into the UK’s leading independent provider of early years and primary cricket coaching, and I couldn’t be prouder. Watching thousands of children learn, laugh, and grow in confidence through the joy of cricket has been the most rewarding journey. I’ve been lucky to work with amazing, passionate coaches who share the same belief — that sport teaches so much more than skills; it builds character, teamwork, and joy. Now, I want to help others experience that same pride and purpose by running their own successful Little Wickets business. With our support, you can bring that same magic to your own community — inspiring the next generation, building a business you love, and making a real difference through cricket
