If you are looking to play structured competitive cricket in a weekly league, indoor short-form or on the village green, or at school, we are working closely with Sussex clubs and schools to ensure these opportunities exist and are locally accessible.
We welcome new players to cricket by championing competitive junior, senior, women and girls and disability cricket and success at all levels nationally confirm our recreational game is strong.
We also have a variety of cricket offers to encourage more people to the game, It’s not always about competition, or even having the ‘right’ equipment; it’s about getting involved and having fun.
Cricket relies on the contribution and support of volunteers, who keep our clubs running, officiate at matches, coach and develop players of all ages and prepare and keep the grounds we play on. We offer support and training to help these volunteers continue to develop the clubs they love.
