Liverpool and District Cricket Competition Player Development Programme Season 2026 (boys)

January, February March at Birkenhead Park Cricket Centre.

The programme, part funded using fines money from 2025, will now focus on those players selected from the assessments in November and will once again be delivered in conjunction with the LCF Development Programme.

Following the assessments, Age Group Training squads will be selected and invited for team and individual development in the New Year.

Full details including specific dates and costs will be available for everyone when attending the assessment session.

Notes for clarification

The Liverpool Competition Interleague squads include players from Junior teams in the L&DCC Junior League and players from the Wirral and North Wales clubs playing in our Senior League
As in previous years the Wigan Junior League will take part in the Competition as their own League. As the PDP is now based around the interleague teams, the Wigan Junior League will receive an appropriate share of the fines money for their player development.

WEe hope this fully explains the new arrangements. Should any Club Official or Junior Cricket Lead require any clarification of anything relating to the above – please contact johnawilliams1@btinternet.com
