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.
Each age group has a different focus for the coaches to help the players work towards:
Under 11: Play and love the game
Under 13: Learn and understand the game
Under 15: Understand and 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 can be found on the Talent Pathway home page.
A couple of our U11 girl’s from last year made these leaflets to help new squad members with some frequently asked questions. Well done Bibi and Ziana
