National Programmes
National Programmes are two 8-week ECB initiatives, All Stars and Dynamos. Both softball cricket programmes aim to increase participation in cricket from an early age, delivered by local cricket clubs across Worcestershire and Dudley.

Worcestershire Cricket Foundation is committed to supporting local cricket clubs to successfully run and deliver national youth programmes, helping to grow the game and inspire the next generation of players. Through guidance, resources, and ongoing development support, the Foundation works closely with clubs to ensure they have the tools, knowledge, and confidence needed to provide safe, inclusive, and engaging environments for young people.

Always available, friendly and full of pragmatic advice
The relationship between Astwood Bank CC and Worcestershire Cricket Foundation has been one that has grown, matured and flourished over some years. Callum and the team have been instrumental in supporting us with advice & guidance in an array of areas ranging from All Stars & Dynamos, the continual evolution of our junior section, and onward to our senior teams including our hugely successful Women’s teams. Beyond this they have supported us with grant applications which have seen us invest in our facilities- ranging from playing facilities through to our shift to solar for a more sustainable future. They’ve even helped in our pre-season work party!
