Street Cricket

The Warwickshire Cricket Foundation provides opportunity for thousands of young people who face barriers to play cricket in a fast-paced version of the game using a tape ball.

Street Cricket is a great opportunity for those in areas with a lack of accessible clubs and green spaces to play the game. Currently in Warwickshire, we have 14 active Street Cricket hubs running.

All equipment is provided and attending is FREE of charge. Street Cricket is targeted at Youths aged 8-15 and Young Adults aged 16-24; each age group has a separate session.

If you are interested in attending a Street Cricket session, you can find details about locations on our ‘Find a Session‘ map or contact Evie Harrison for further information.

Warwickshire Cricket Foundation named ‘Cricket Board of the Year’ by Chance to Shine.

This highly coveted award recognises the success of Warwickshire Cricket Foundation’s Chance to Shine sessions in schools and community settings. Since 2021, WCF has delivered over 14 Chance to Shine Street hubs in Warwickshire and Birmingham, plus the nationally acclaimed Ramadan League.

The Ramadan League first started at Edgbaston Indoor Cricket Centre during the 2021 lockdown. Each year, the league provides street participants with the chance to play cricket from 10PM to midnight during Ramadan, after breaking their fast and prayers.

Our community coaches are an amazing group of individuals, and receiving this award is a great honor for all of us. It showcases their dedication to coaching and the strong relationships they build with participants, encouraging them to return week after week to grow both as players and as individuals.
