Club Affiliation

Affiliation

Our Core Offer is designed to provide essential access to; support, guidance, and opportunities for every club and league throughout Wales. This is to help them be the best they can be.  By affiliating to Cricket Wales, clubs automatically become part of the ECB.

Cricket Wales affiliation fees remained static for a number of years; In this time, the resource (both human and financial) invested into Clubs in Wales has grown exponentially.  Cricket Wales Board approved a modest rise in affiliation fees in December 2020, after benchmarking against other English County Boards and consultation with major leagues, in order to reflect the service and benefits received by clubs, but also recognising that larger clubs, especially Clubmark clubs, are likely to need and receive proportionately more direct assistance.

Our most recent Core Club Affiliation Offer including benefits and the cost for clubs is available here . For more information please contact your Area Cricket Manager or email [email protected]
