The purpose of the programme is to give Young People between the ages of 14 and 16 the opportunity to develop some leadership skills which will allow them to volunteer within their cricket club and/or school environment. The programme has been adapted from previous years to allow it to run under some of the Covid restrictions that we are all facing.

If your son or daughter is interested in this exciting opportunity there are two online information evenings called “Ethuse” meetings being staged on:

Wednesday 10th February 6:30pm
Wednesday 17th February 6:30pm
