The future of cricket starts with young people – and we’re inviting Cheshire clubs to play a crucial role.
The Young Cricket Collective is a national programme for 14–18‑year‑olds who want to make a difference in their club and community. We’d love your support in encouraging your young players and volunteers to get involved.
By taking part, young people will:
- Train as a Young Activator, Young Official, and Young Club Leader
- Additional (optional) module in grounds management
- Build confidence, leadership, and life skills
- Receive unique kit, merchandise and certificates
- Begin a journey that leads to qualifications and exciting opportunities.
Cheshire Cricket Board are running in‑person training sessions during the Easter holidays, with dates and venues listed below:
- Tuesday 31st March, Wilmslow High School, 10am-3pm – https://booking.ecb.co.uk/GaZba1
- Friday 10th April, The Grange School (Hartford), 10am-3pm – https://booking.ecb.co.uk/z4gz1z
- W/C – 13th April, West Cheshire (venue TBC) – Booking available soon
The cost of the programme is £30 per participant, which includes branded Cricket Collective clothing (tracksuit, bucket hat), in person training and a celebration event.
Together, we can support the next generation to create unforgettable moments, inspire others, and help cricket communities thrive.
