Our theme offers an all-encompassing approach to participation. From young children to older adults, we tackle issues of participation in sport right across the ages.
Young People
We engaged with over 22,000 young people across our youth programmes, including Wicketz, Pop-Up and Enjoy Cricket.
Diverse Communities
Our Core Cities events provided social opportunities and cricket activity for nearly 2,000 members of Yorkshire's diverse communities.
Older Adults
We welcomed over 500 older adults through our doors to Walking Cricket events and our annual Grey Fox Trophy competition.
Young People
Beach Cricket
Part of the historical Scarborough Cricket Festival, our beach cricket tournament sees local junior teams play a round robin competition on Scarborough’s South Bay Beach.
Enjoy Cricket
Enjoy Cricket gives Yorkshire based cricket clubs funding to run their own courses to develop and introduce cricket in their local community.
Pop-Up Cricket
Pop-Up Cricket aims to introduce the game to children between the age of 6 and 13 who may not have had the opportunity, resources or facilities to pick up a bat and ball and play Cricket in the past.
Wicketz
Wicketz Yorkshire aims to make a lasting positive effect on those living in high deprived areas in Yorkshire, using cricket as the hook. The project gets children off the streets and into cricket as well as working on community cohesion through a number of different activities.
Cric-Kit
The cricket kit recycling programme aims to create awareness and a culture across Yorkshire and the UK whereby donating, recycling and reusing sports clothing is done more frequently to help break down barriers in communities to participation.
