This year, Yorkshire’s Performance Pathway team have extended the Emerging Players Programme down to the U13 Age Group for the first time – a move which sees us increase our commitment to improved player development across the County Age Group system.
The Emerging Player Programme provides a host of benefits for player development as well as other benefits for the young players, including:
• Player skill development sessions with dedicated High-Performance Coaches
• Individual Development Plans
• Mental health programme
• More specialised development training and match-play opportunities, including strength and conditioning
• Free coaching throughout the year
• A full set of playing clothing free of charge
• A junior YCCC membership
Players are selected for the Emerging Players Programme based on the observation of outstanding abilities on the YCCC Performance Pathway Framework (available here – https://yorkshireccc.com/performancepathway) as well as previous performances on the Performance Pathway.
