What is Cricket Connects?

Cricket Connects aims to provide more people with more quality opportunities, to be more involved, more often.

Cricket Connects encourages, supports, and mentors participants to undertake volunteering and coaching roles as Cricket Connects Champions within the programme and their immediate and wider community. Our Cricket Connects Officers deliver Activator Training to support Activators to deliver cricket activities in their communities along with community-based Cricket Connects programmes.
