Clubs

Every club that we set up, develop, or support has the aim of setting up or growing a women and girl’s section. 

At two of our flagship clubs, Leyton Wicketz CC and West Ham and Stratford CC, we are well on our way to achieving this and aim to have at least one team from each club playing junior league cricket by summer 2024. 

In year one of our Clubs in Need Project we will be supporting the growth of Canons CC, a girl’s only cricket club based in North London. 

We will be containing to support the growth and development of a women and girl’s section at London Tigers CC, Regent’s Park CC, and Tower Hamlets CC.

Last week, former England Captain, Sky Broadcaster, and CKC President,  Nasser Hussain OBE Launched our brand new “Clubs in Need” Programme, aimed at supporting struggling cricket clubs and empowering young people. 

Cricket transcends sport, and cricket clubs are its heart, especially in inner cities, where support is essential to keep the game thriving and to attract more young enthusiasts. This was the central theme of yesterday’s launch of the “Clubs in Need” initiative by former England cricket captain Nasser Hussain OBE, who also serves as the President of Capital Kids Cricket (CKC). The groundbreaking “Clubs in Need” initiative was introduced at the Leyton County Cricket Ground, followed by an evening event where Nasser Hussain engaged with invited guests, discussing “Clubs in Need” and the incredible summer of cricket. This transformative programme aims to rejuvenate struggling cricket clubs while bridging the gap in transitioning young cricketers from soft ball to hard ball cricket, addressing critical community challenges.

We are delighted to announce our upcoming ‘Evening with Nasser Hussain OBE’ event on 14th September 2023. 

Join us, and a host guests, at Guildhall for an evening of cricket talk with the former England Captain, current Sky Cricket commentator, and CKC President. 

The evening will feature Scyld Berry running a Q&A with Nasser that will provide insight into his illustrious career on the field, as well as behind the scenes stories of his numerous tours, and his reflections on the summer of cricket.

The evening will be conducted by Sussex CCC Chairman and CKC Trustee, John Barclay.
