Representative Cricket at all age levels is extremely important for the development of talented cricketers. It provides the opportunity for players to be challenged and have their skills tested to a greater extent than in normal competition. Many players (men and women) who progress along the pathway to first class and international standard have participated in representative cricket at various age group levels. See further down the page for the Talent Pathway Girls Age Group squads that we run.

Our player development is guided by the Talent Development Framework (TDF) and delivered by our highly skilled coaches.

Each age group has a different focus for the coaches to help the players work towards:

Under 13: Play the game
Under 14: Learn the game
Under 15: Understand the game
Under 16: Adapt to your game
Under 18: Own your game and prepare for performance

Our rules and what we expect

Kent Cricket sets high standards for our staff and programmes and seeks to achieve them. In turn, we expect our young cricketers and their parents/guardians to meet certain standards. It is important that we all know what we are delivering and what is expected of the players. To clarify this, parents/guardians and players are required to sign up to a series of Charters and abide by our policies. These are listed on the Talent Pathway | Kent Cricket  page and on the Safeguarding & Welfare | Kent Cricket section of our website.
