MCC Foundation Hubs

We are pleased to announce that we have received further funding from the MCC Foundation to grow the support for 11-17 year old (school years 7-12 Girls and School years 7-10 boys) to enhance their cricketing skills in 2026.

Who Can Join?

The hubs are open to:

• Boys aged 11–15  (u13s and u15s)
• Girls aged 11–17 (u14s and u17s)
• Players not currently in County squads
• Those not attending fee-paying schools

These sessions are a fantastic opportunity for young cricketers to develop their skills, make new friends, and enjoy the game in a fun and supportive environment.

We will be running the following hubs:

Derby Girls: U14 and U17

Derby Boys: U13 and U15

Chesterfield Girls: U14 and U17
