Youth events

Our youth hubs use cricket as a launchpad for young people to be active, connect and shape change in their communities.

Sessions are free, co-designed with 10–21-year-olds and funded by local councils, the National Lottery and community partners.

Alongside cricket, we support young people into coaching qualifications, work experience, internships, leadership roles and youth-led advocacy.

Testimonials

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

Very fun, hope to play again! I enjoyed catching the best. Once you start playing, it is easy to get the hang of it!
