MCC Foundation Hubs

The MCC Foundation Hubs programme will run in Lincolnshire from January 2027. We aim to operate 3 Hubs, a girls’ Hub at Priory City of Lincoln Academy, and one boys’ Hub at a venue in the north of our area and a second at Priory Ruskin Academy, Grantham.

The MCC Foundation Hub programme provides 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 are engaged in cricket develop their skills alongside other young cricketers.

The 10 week programme of indoor training is followed by a series of games against other hubs and County Age Group teams, as well as providing entry into an exciting nationwide knockout competition where four finalists, two Girls’ teams and two Boys’ teams, will earn themselves the unforgettable opportunity to play in a Grand Final on the Main Ground at Lord’s.

In addition to the free 10 week training programme and game opportunities, participants will be provided with an MCC Foundation Hub T-shirt to wear for training/playing.

Registration for these Hubs can be made online during Autumn 2026 and the link to register will be published here when available.

Players aged 11-16 who are state school/home educated are eligible to take part. For more information contact: jess.bakewell@lincscricket.co.uk
