 The Bermuda Cricket Board (BCB) Youth Committee kicked off their early preparation Training Sessions for young cricketers — and what an energetic start it has been!
The first session on Sunday, March 14th, brought together 23 enthusiastic players from the 11–14 age group, and the Youth Committee are delighted to share that 50 players have registered so far. The excitement on the field was matched by the presence of BCB Vice President David Horan who heads up the Youth Committee & BCB High Performance Consultant Andre Coley, who attended to observe the growing talent within our youth program.
For 15–18-year-olds, the Committee are actively reaching out and inviting players back into the game. After a few seasons with limited opportunities, this is an important moment to rebuild, reconnect, and reignite the love of cricket within this age group — and the BCB Youth Committee is fully committed to making that happen.
Registration remains open, and the Youth Committee warmly encourages all interested players to join!

Group 2 – Training Session @ Saltus

All players should arrive by 1:00 PM to check in, get organized, and allow coaches to finalize match and training groups. Please wear cricket whites if available, bring water, a hat, and sunscreen.
Parents — bring your chairs and pop-up tents! We invite you to line the boundary and enjoy an afternoon of youth cricket in action.
Looking ahead, the Youth Committee plans to run two matches each play date, grouping players by their development level so everyone gets quality playing time.

Following the Easter break, the Youth Committee's next gathering will take place on Sunday, April 12th, 2026. A reminder will be sent closer to the date.
