Youth events

Our weekly youth sessions bring cricket to parks and community centres — giving young people a safe place to be active and connect.

Each session is free to attend and funded by local councils, the Police and Crime Commissioner, and community partners.

Our youth work also develops sports leaders through our volunteering and internship pathways. Together, we’re helping young people stay active, make friends and contribute to their community.

I like the sessions because you can spend time with your friends and you have a good time playing - it makes me feel good.
