Registrations for Regional Boys Under 9s Observations now open

The Yorkshire County Cricket Club is pleased to announce that registration for the Yorkshire Regional Cricket Boys Under 9s Observation days for the 2024 season is NOW OPEN.

U9 Regional Observation Days are the primary entry point for boys in school year 4 and below to join the YCCC Performance Pathway Summer Programme and are intended for all boys who wish to be observed for a place at Regional level. Registration is open to all.

U9s is the youngest programme run by YCCC and sees our four Regions (North, East & Central, South and West) take part in an inter-Regional programme throughout June and July each year.

Please note: Parents wishing to sign their child up for observations should be aware of and consider that U9s Regional is hard-ball cricket and is the highest-standard of representative cricket at this age in the county. If you have any questions regarding the observations and whether they would be right for your son, please contact your local Convener (details below).
