Street Cricket

We provide opportunities for hundreds of young people who face barriers to play cricket in an exciting, fast-paced tape-ball format, delivered in partnership with Chance to Shine.

Street Cricket gives young people in communities with limited access to clubs or green spaces a great opportunity to enjoy and play the game.

We provide all equipment, and sessions are completely free to attend.

If you’re interested in joining one of our Street Cricket sessions, you can explore locations on our Find a Session map or contact Evie Harrison for more information.

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

We are proud to have been named ‘Cricket Board of the Year’ by Chance to Shine, a highly coveted award that recognises the impact and success of our Chance to Shine sessions delivered in schools and community settings.

Since 2021, we have delivered more than 14 Chance to Shine Street hubs across Warwickshire and Birmingham, as well as our nationally acclaimed Ramadan League.

Our Ramadan League began at the Edgbaston Indoor Cricket Centre during the 2021 lockdown. The league offers our Street Cricket participants the opportunity to play from 10pm to midnight throughout Ramadan, after breaking their fast and completing prayers.

Our community coaches are an amazing group of individuals, and receiving this award is a great honour 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.
