The regional programme encompasses four regions across the U10-15 age groups for boys and U12, U14 & U16 age groups for girls. These are Cricket Wales North (CWN), Cricket Wales South (CWS), Cricket Wales East (CWE) and Cricket Wales West (CWW).
The main aim of regional cricket is to provide a challenging, enjoyable yet supportive environment for the most talented boys and girls across Wales. It is, and should be seen as an immediate 'step up' from club cricket and the tier of the pathway directly below County Age Group (CAG) cricket. Please see below for our main three objectives.
1) To create better opportunities to provide meaningful player development experiences which broaden the talent base
2) To build foundational skillsets and competencies which allow players to perform to their maximal capability over time
3) To inspire players to commit to lifelong engagement in cricket.
Should you have any queries on aspects of the programme please do not hesitate to get in touch with your regional Pathway Lead (see 'Key Contacts' below).
