Young People's Competitions

The development and sustainability of youth cricket can be illustrated in the 508 affiliated clubs with junior sections that operate within the Yorkshire Region. The initiatives and competitions, including our flagship, Pathway’s to Excellence, are the main vehicles for the development of youth cricket and encourage increased and new participation in cricket from a young age across the county.
