MCC Foundation Hubs

Warwickshire Cricket Foundation provides cricket coaching to state school-educated cricketers aged 11 to 16, allowing them to receive high-quality coaching and participate in summer matches.

Nationwide Cricket Hubs

In partnership with the MCC Foundation, we run three cricket hubs that provide free-to-access training and match play across two venues in Warwickshire. The Hubs focus on talent: helping promising youngsters who have been engaged through mass participation activities or non-traditional formats to join cricket clubs, develop their hard-ball skills, and access the formal talent pathways.

The Hubs also have a transformational impact off the cricket pitch, helping participants to feel happier and more confident, and improving their focus and performance at school. Find your nearest hub by clicking here.

The MCC Foundation Hubs begun in February 2025 and will last for 10 weeks.

Liv really enjoyed the hub programmes and got loads from it last year. The way girls cricket is supported is fantastic not only at club level but all the way through to this initiative.

National Hub Competition

In the summer, Hubs are invited to compete in a series of knockout matches in inspiring venues across the regions. Finalists earn themselves the opportunity to play in the final on the Main Ground at Lord’s in London.

In 2024, the competition allowed for the first time in history that an U18 Girls XI had played hard ball cricket on the Main Ground, and the first time that U18 Girls had played cricket of any format on the square.
