MORE than 1,200 children from across the West Midlands will descend on Worcester to take part in two-day cricket coaching sessions.

The British Army has teamed up with the Chance to Shine campaign run by registered charity the Cricket Foundation, to run the events next month.

Children aged 14-16 will take part in two-day camps at The King's School, that combine cricket coaching with personal development activities to enhance physical and mental performance.
