Wicketz

Warwickshire Cricket Foundation delivers Wicketz sessions to young people living in deprived areas and hard-to-reach groups who do not have access to sporting opportunities, in order to increase opportunity and improve individuals’ physical well-being.

Wicketz is a free community cricket programme funded by the Lords Taverners. We deliver weekly coaching at community cricket hubs all year-round with a focus on breaking down barriers.

The Warwickshire Cricket Foundation target young people aged 8-19, living in disadvantaged communities. Sessions help in developing crucial life skills, creating stronger communities and enabling brighter futures for those taking part.

Wicketz delivery is currently paused in Warwickshire and Birmingham. If you are interested in attending a cricket session, contact Evie Harrison, Community Programmes Manager, for more information.
