Wicketz

Derbyshire Cricket Foundation currently runs 3 Wicketz Hubs that are funded by Lords' Taverners.

Wicketz is a FREE programme that is for young people (aged 8-16) and runs all year on a weekly basis, with the Hubs located in different areas of Derbyshire.

By establishing a sustainable community cricket hub we provide year-round weekly cricket sessions with a focus on breaking down barriers.

Why Wicketz?

Wicketz is for young people (8-16) in deprived areas, and we aim to help them develop in life skills and actively engage with their local community. Our participants come from a variety of backgrounds and schools to help build and encourage a diverse and welcoming community.

The programme is all about promoting inclusivity in sport. We even have a Girls Only Hub at Lees Brook Academy, where we have partnered with Derby County Community Trust to give girls an opportunity to play cricket and football under the same roof!
