Cricket Centre Youth Foundation
Cricket Centre Youth Foundation supports affordable sport, movement, arts, culture, belonging, and community access programs for youth, families, newcomers, women/girls, and inclusion-focused groups.
Our Mission
Our mission is to use cricket as a tool for confidence, connection, physical activity, leadership, and belonging.
We believe every child should have the opportunity to participate in sport, regardless of background, experience, or financial barriers. Cricket Centre Youth Foundation supports programs that introduce, teach, and grow the game in an inclusive and community-focused way.

Why It Matters
Cricket is more than a game. It helps young people build confidence, coordination, teamwork, focus, discipline, and friendships. For many families and newcomers, cricket also creates a sense of home, community, and belonging.
Through the Foundation, we want to make sure more children and families can access these opportunities.
