What is Street Cricket? (Supported by Chance to Shine)
Street Cricket is engagement with young people (aged 8 – 24) in underserved areas through Street cricket clubs. These areas would include economically disadvantaged areas, areas of known high level of inactivity, or areas without an existing affordable cricket offer.
The clubs run most weeks, all year-round. The clubs give young people the opportunity to develop cricket and life skills, whilst taking part in informal matches.
Wales currently has 16 street clubs:
3 in North Wales
5 South West Wales
8 South East Wales.
The clubs run after school or on weekends, they are completely free, players don’t need to bring any equipment. The sessions run in sports halls, parks, places of worship and community centres. Clubs are open to all genders, but in some locations, we run girls only sessions.

Street 20 Competition.
Street cricketers play a format called Street20. Played with a tapeball and plastic bats, matches are 20 balls a side. All Street clubs take part in local competitions against other nearby clubs, ahead of taking part in the Regional Street20 finals as they vie for a spot in the National finals at Nottingham University in the Open (U13, U15, U24) or Girls competitions.
