Club Affiliation
Affiliation to the ECB allows clubs and, where appropriate, leagues to access a range of tangible benefits. Affiliation is via the LRCB- the club or league affiliating to that within whose area they are based.

ECB and LRCB OSCA's
The NatWest OSCAs (Outstanding Service to Cricket Awards) are aimed at recognising those volunteers who give so much of their time to the game of cricket - without these individuals the game would not survive.

Club Development Planning
The concept of ‘club development planning' or ‘business planning' is growing ever more important within community club cricket. A club development plan documents the objectives, actions and costs associated with the development needs of a cricket club.

Focus Club
A Focus Club is one that has been identified for a clear strategic reason, and one that is committed to long-term junior development. Each Focus Club will be expected to do various things by ECB in return for ECB resources.
