About
the competition
•Eight a side.
Easier to
raise a team.
•16 overs per innings. Games that last just over two hours and can be played in the
evenings well into August.
•Games later in the season. Starting at the end of May and running throughout the summer school holidays.
•Flexible itinerary. Youth coaches will be able to schedule matches at their own
convenience, with a ten to fourteen day time window for each
fixture.
•Retaining youth players.
The South Norfolk Community League will help clubs to retain
young cricketers who might otherwise go elsewhere.
•More equitable games. There is formidable competition provided at league level by many
of the large clubs. Not all small clubs can raise teams of
sufficient quality, or numbers, to provide challenging
opposition.
•Participation for all. Many children play youth cricket for the sheer enjoyment and
friendship and, through this, develop a life long love of this wonderful sport.
•Publicity. The U11
cricket league, the U13 cricket league, the U15 cricket
league and the U17 cricket league will receive press coverage
throughout the season.
•Winner's Award. A
handsome trophy to be presented to the winning U11,U13, U15 and
U17 league cricket teams. Awards for best batting and bowling at
all age groups.
