is now open..........
.
Nominations for the Hertfordshire Cricket Pathway are now open and club / school personnel are invited to nominate players via the link at the bottom of this page. Please note that parents, family and friends are not permitted to nominate players.
The Hertfordshire Cricket Talent Support Fund exists to help talented players whose family financial situation would be a barrier to them being part of our County Age Group programme.
THESE NOMINATIONS ARE FOR BOYS ONLY. ONCE THE GIRLS NOMINATION PROCESS IS OPEN A LINK WILL BE POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE.
U10-U12
PLEASE BE ADVISED that the Charley Cricket Programme (U10-U12) is an open to all programme and we do not accept nominations for this age group.
U13-U15
The initial U13 CAG and Development squads each year will be selected directly from the Charley Cricket Programme; these players do not need to be nominated. U13's that have not been part of the current Charley Cricket programme can be nominated to join the U13 Development Programme.
The Development Programme starts at U13 and finishes at U15 and is the entry point to the County Age Group programme. Please ONLY nominate talented players that are NOT already part of the Development or CAG programme.
U16-U18
If you have players in older age groups (U16-U18) who are not currently within our pathway who you wish us to consider for our CAG squad then please use the same form. As there is no Development programme at this age group players need to be excellent fielders, have good fitness levels in addition to their ability with the bat and ball. As a guide they will be playing regular adult in cricket in Herts Saracens league Division 6 or above and be performing well at this level.
For an explanation as to how the Performance Pathway works please refer to the Hertfordshire Performance Boys Pathway.
For assistance with the identification of players please refer to the Talent Development Framework.
Players who are already part of another county pathway ie Essex, Bucks, Middlesex, Cambs, Beds etc (including other county area, district, borough programmes) ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR NOMINATION. If players are being nominated for other counties for next season, then please DO NOT nominate them for Hertfordshire. We work with all of our neighbours to ensure that players only trial for one county in a season. This is only fair to players who are only eligible for one county.
If you have any questions regarding this then please contact Tanya Whitton tanya.whitton@hertscricket.org 07393 766435

Please note that the nomination process will close at 12 noon on Friday 15 July 2022. We will work through all applications over the coming months and will contact parents directly if their child is to be invited to attend any indoor trials which will take place in September. We cannot guarantee that all nominated players will be invited to attend.
