All Stars

All Stars Cricket provides a fantastic first experience for all children aged 5-8 years old where they’re guaranteed 8 weeks of jam-packed fun, activity and skills development. The programme is designed to introduce children to the sport, teaching them new skills, helping them make new friends and have a great time doing so.

Every child that registers will receive a backpack full of goodies; a backpack, cricket bat, cricket ball and personalised t-shirt with your child’s name. All children returning to All Stars will receive a kit bag, a set of stumps, a new ball and a personalised t-shirt.

Dynamos

Dynamos Cricket provides a fantastic next step for all those graduating from All Stars Cricket and the perfect introduction for all 8-11 year-olds new to the sport! Complementing junior cricket, Dynamos provides children with a more social offer focused on developing fundamental movement skills and applying them in an exciting game of countdown cricket.

Children use soft balls and light wooden bats in sessions lasting a minimum of six 60-90 minutes. I In this programme children are introduced to game play through countdown cricket matches (pairs cricket).

Junior Cricket

Warwickshire Cricket Foundation’s junior leagues run from U9’s-U17’s compromising of a variety of levels to ensure all players have the opportunity to play competitive cricket at a suitable level.

For players who are newer to cricket we runs an U9 and U10 softball cricket league. We run 8-a-side pairs hardball cricket leagues at U9, U10 and U11 and U13. For more experienced youth cricketers, we also run hardball cricket leagues at U11, U13, and U15,

We run girls softball festivals and leagues, as well as hardball leagues for U11, U13, and U15 age groups.

Development Centre Cricket

Development Centre Cricket (DCC) has replaced the previously known ‘District Cricket’. The two centres are the Bulls and Knights.

We are aware that players progress at different rates and therefore at the older age group we will be able to see players for a longer period of time at a performance level. This allows county and DCC coaches to observe the best club players for an additional year and keeps 16-year-olds playing cricket for an additional year post-GCSE examinations.

The league is split into 3 divisions, Premier (the “Birmingham League” of Women’s club cricket), Division 1 and 2. Players in this league tend to be the most experienced female hardball cricketers from within the region, with Warwickshire pathway players forming the majority of teams.
