District Cricket
District Cricket is a programme for young male and female cricketers which:
- Establishes a key talent selection stage to the player pathway and bridges the gap between School/Club and County Age Group Programmes.
- Assists coaches in talent identification for County Age Group cricket
- Encourages participation
- Exposes young players to a structured preparation and match programme
- Exposes young players to a competitive environment.
The LRCB sees district cricket as a healthy platform for competitive cricket therefore creating seamless pathway from the Club Environment to County Cricket and England Teams. The districts are North, City and South, the training programme itself will mirror the Leicestershire Young Cricketers programme therefore ensuring a clear pathway into the County Age Groups.
