How It All Started
The Boundary was created to provide high-quality cricket coaching and training opportunities for players across Bedfordshire.
The journey began in 2011, when Gary Richardson stepped into coaching at Bedford Cricket Club after his son joined the junior section. What started as volunteering quickly grew, with increasing demand for one-to-one coaching from other parents.
By 2014, that demand led to the launch of a summer cricket camp, which continues to run today, now in its 12th year and welcoming young players from across the local area.
Alongside camps and private coaching, Gary has worked with a number of local clubs including Thurleigh, Biddenham, and Elstow, supporting players of all levels.
Sam Richardson has been part of the journey from the start — first as a player, and now as a coach. With a First Class degree in Sports Medicine and an ECB Core Coach qualification, he plays a key role in delivering sessions and developing players.
The Boundary was born from a growing need for year-round cricket training, with plans underway for a dedicated indoor facility in the future. In the meantime, the focus remains on building a strong, inclusive cricket community through coaching, camps, and events.
We're not just developing cricketers, we're helping build confidence, character, and a love for the game.
What We Stand For
At The Boundary, we believe cricket is about more than just developing skills, it’s about building confidence, character, and a genuine love for the game. Everything we do is shaped by a commitment to creating a positive, supportive, and inclusive environment for every player.
Player-First Coaching
Every session is designed around the individual. We focus on helping each player develop at their own pace, building both skill and confidence.
A Welcoming Community
We create an environment where players, parents, and coaches feel comfortable, supported, and part of something bigger.
Development at Every Level
From beginners to experienced players, we focus on long-term development, not just short-term results.
A Love For The Game
We believe enjoyment is key. Our sessions are designed to be engaging, positive, and fun, helping players build a lasting connection with cricket.
