What are the Hubs?
The MCCF(the charitable arm of Marylebone Cricket Club) run a network of cricket Hubs that provide free-to-access training and match play to 6,500 state-educated young cricketers at 164 sites across the UK. The Hubs focus on talent: helping promising youngsters who have been engaged through mass participation activities or non-traditional formats to join cricket clubs, develop their hard-ball skills, and access the formal talent pathways.
In collaboration with the MCC Foundation, Cricket East provides state-educated players with a unique opportunity to access a high-quality, free 10-week training programme, culminating in summer match play.
We are delighted to announce that registrations are now open for the 2025 Girls & Boys MCC Foundation Hubs in Peterborough and Luton.
