Yorkshire Cricket Board

Hot on the heels of an incredibly successful Spring Bank camp, a six week coaching programme begins on Tuesday 15th June 6.30-8.30pm at Woodlands CC. The hub is funded by the MCC Foundation. The programme aims to raise the profile of cricket among state school pupils and create a pathway for talented children. The sessions are open to girls between the ages of 10 and 15 who play hard ball cricket. YCB’s Katie Stewart, the hub manager, is delighted with the way the initiative has progressed:

"We would love to see the girls who took part in the spring camps back to Woodlands and to welcome any new cricketers to the programme. The aim is to provide fun and inclusive sessions while improving their cricket with high level coaching. We also hope to create a pathway which provides opportunities and enables girls to keep playing the game.”

Some of the U15 hub participants are representing Bradford in the MCC Foundation’s National tournament and will play Hull and York U15 girls on the 20th June in Scarborough. For more information on the hub programme, contact Katie k.stewart@yorkshirecb.com.
