Players and Clubs are at the heart of our game. We want to make the game easily accessible and enjoyable, whilst ensuring that we communicate effectively and spend less time on administration. Working closely with the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB), Cambridgeshire Cricket provides a package of benefits aimed at supporting you, your club and everyone associated with it.
Cambridgeshire Cricket are provided funding by the ECB to look after and support the development of clubs within the geographical boundaries of the Cricket Board – i.e. the local authority areas of South Cambridgeshire, Cambridge City, East Cambridgeshire, and Fenland. Clubs outside of these boundaries should receive support from their respective County Cricket Board.
We aim to give any club within our boundary support in the drive for growth and participation within the game. However, the demands of a club on the time of Cambridgeshire Cricket employees will be proportionate to the particular operations of that club, particularly in respect of activity for under 18s. Therefore clubs running junior activity should pay a higher affiliation rate.
In order to play organised league cricket at junior or open age cricket in Cambridgeshire, clubs must be affiliated to the County Board. However, affiliation is not simply about registering your team to play. Every club can take advantage of the help and support on offer, to achieve as many of your objectives as possible and to be an active member of our cricketing family.
There are 4 levels of Affiliation which clubs can sign up to for 2022
- Associate Package - £10.00 - Clubs from outside the County Board geographical boundaries but playing in organised Cambridgeshire league activity (NB must be primary affiliated to another County Cricket Board)
- Midweek/Friendly Package - £10.00 Clubs or Teams who do not play in the CCA or Cambs & Hunts Premier Leagues, but play friendly or local Cambridgeshire midweek competitions
- Standard Package - £45.00 Clubs or Teams who only have open age sides competing in the CCA or Cambs & Hunt Premier Leagues
- Higher Package - £90.00 Full Benefits Package for Clubs that have a junior section and/or run National Programme activity, regardless of whether they run open age sides.
