If your school is looking for a fun, active, and inclusive playground sport, QuickHit could be the game-changer you’ve been looking for.
Designed by Inspired Schools, QuickHit recently featured on the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) website and in The Cricket Paper. The format is now making waves across UK playgrounds for one key reason: it works.
🏏 What is QuickHit?
QuickHit is a playground-friendly version of cricket, created to get all children involved—not just the confident few.
In many schools, traditional cricket games leave some pupils disengaged. That’s where QuickHit changes things. It simplifies the game, speeds up the action, and makes space for every child to be active.
“In games like Kwik cricket, the same children dominate,” says co-founder Ben Kirk.
“Even in pairs, others are left disengaged—picking daisies, doing cartwheels. We wanted to change that.”
As a result, QuickHit has become a tool for improving participation, confidence, and enjoyment during PE lessons and breaktimes.
👟 As Featured by the ECB
Earlier this term, the ECB and The Cricket Paper visited Lime Tree Primary School in Surrey to see QuickHit in action.
“What we’ve found is that everyone is able to use it. It’s really inclusive. It’s quick and easy—and good fun.”
— Richard Feist, Head of PE, Lime Tree Primary School
The visit captured the real benefit of QuickHit: it makes movement natural and enjoyable. In addition, it helps schools embed activity into the culture of the day.

Here’s why so many schools are now installing QuickHit as part of their playground strategy:
- Inclusive – every child gets a turn
- Quick to set up – ideal for breaktimes or short PE sessions
- Confidence-building – encourages teamwork and skill development
- Purposeful – supports school goals around behaviour, well-being, and attendance
Unlike more complex sports installations, QuickHit is easy to integrate into daily routines.
