The Youth section plays a very important role in the continued growth and success of Tunbridge Wells Cricket Club, and we work hard to encourage youngsters to develop their cricketing skills.

The Cricket Boards of England and Wales, and Kent, (ECB/KCB), have awarded us Clubmark and Focus Club Community Cluster status: confirming that we are a safe, effective, and child-friendly Club, and will receive their special support in our continued efforts to develop cricket provision in the community.

Youth members are full members with entitlement to all privileges (apart from some legal restrictions).

Qualified coaches and match managers ensure that boys and girls can enjoy the pleasure of training and playing on The Nevill, one of the country’s most beautiful county cricket grounds.

Training sessions for boys and girls are held weekly throughout the summer, and there are winter training sessions.
