What is CricHIIT?

The award-winning Cricket Scotland developed CricHIIT 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 aged 16+ 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! 45-minute session plans have been created by the Cricket Scotland Strength & Conditioning Team at three levels to cater for all levels of fitness
