Youth Sports Club
INDOOR CRICKET LEAGUE FOR MEN
WHAT'S IT ABOUT?
For ages 13+
Weekly sports & trips
Wellbeing & community
Real talk. Real support.
BROTHERS. BALANCE. BELONGING.
The Youth Sports Club is Cricket Arena’s year-round programme supporting young people through sport, mentorship and meaningful experiences. Born from our work with the Violence Reduction Unit and South Yorkshire Police & Crime Commissioner, this club is built to keep youth active, connected and confident—especially those facing pressure or barriers off the pitch.
Each week, young people aged 13+ come together for sports sessions, group trips and workshops that build trust, community and self-belief. It’s a space where relationships grow, role models step up, and every individual feels like they belong.
But it’s more than just sport. The Youth Sports Club gives young people a break from everyday pressures—and a chance to reflect, grow, and choose a better path.
There’s no trials, no trophies — just real talk, real moments and real support.
Whether it’s your first session or fiftieth, this is a club where you’re always welcome — and always backed.
TESTIMONIALS FROM PARTICIPANTS

BBICL gave me a competitive edge during the off-season. The fast-paced indoor format kept me sharp, and the energy every week was unreal. It’s more than just a league – it’s a family.
Awais Ishfaq

I started playing in BBICL just for fun, but it turned into something much bigger. I got my first experience in umpiring here, and now I feel confident officiating games. It’s a perfect place to grow your cricket knowledge on and off the field.
Shohaib Khaliq

The best part of BBICL is the atmosphere. Whether you’re a serious player or just here to enjoy cricket, you feel welcome. The tournaments are intense, and the friendships I’ve made through this league are for life.
Dilshan Luxman Sukumar

Playing in the Youth Hundred gave me the platform to test myself. Every match felt like a final. Representing my area and playing alongside lads I grew up with—there’s nothing like it.
