The regional programme encompasses four regions across the U10-15 age groups; these are Cricket Wales North (CWN), Cricket Wales South (CWS), Cricket Wales East (CWE) and Cricket Wales West (CWW).
The main aim of regional cricket is to provide a challenging, enjoyable yet supportive environment for the most talented boys and girls across Wales. It is, and should be seen as an immediate 'step up' from club cricket and the tier of the pathway directly below County Age Group (CAG) cricket.
ENTERING THE REGIONAL PROGRAMME
U10 & U12 Entry: Players looking to obtain a place at U10-12 age groups for the following winter need to be nominated by their clubs, coaches or schools via our nomination form: https://forms.gle/Xq8r6xW6x8vvU3Ux5
