Berks have announced the details of the MCC Hub Programme for 2023, and you can now sign up for trials if you are in School Years 7-11 and are not currently part of a county squad.
The Hubs are a formal part of the pathway in Berkshire, and sit below the full county squads. They run at three age groups - U12, U14 and U16. The hubs at U14 and U16 are free but only open to state school pupils. The U12 hub is participant funded and open to all.
All programmes involve trials, followed by 15 hours of indoor training with County coaches across January, February and March. There will also be matchplay opportunities in the summer.
