Empowering the Next Generation: Oxfordshire Cricket’s The Future Leaders Academy and the Power of Volunteering

FEATURED POST

Empowering the Next Generation: Oxfordshire Cricket’s The Future Leaders Academy and the Power of Volunteering Volunteers are the unsung heroes who power the engine of recreational sports clubs across the country. In many communities, they are the heartbeat of local clubs, and charities, and community groups bringing their time, skills, and passion to create spaces where people of all ages can enjoy the benefits of sport. But finding enough trained and motivated volunteers, particularly those willing to take on leadership roles, is often a challenge. In Oxfordshire, a new initiative created by Oxfordshire Cricket aims to change that. Recognising a gap in the volunteer landscape, particularly within cricket, the Future Leaders Academy was created. This exciting programme is designed to equip young people with the skills, confidence, and leadership qualities they need to not only volunteer but thrive as leaders in their communities. It’s about much more than just cricket—it’s about fostering a generation of young individuals who are ready to give back and lead by example. The Need for Volunteer Leaders While the UK boasts a rich sporting culture, clubs often face the challenge of finding volunteers who are both passionate and skilled enough to take on leadership roles. Without the proper support and development, young people may not have the confidence to step into these roles, missing an opportunity to gain life-changing skills. The Future Leaders Academy was born out of this need. Oxfordshire Cricket recognised that, although young people in Oxfordshire were already volunteering in some capacity, there was no formal, structured programme to help them build the skills required to take on leadership positions. Cricket was the perfect vehicle to fill that gap, given its history of community involvement and its wide appeal across the county. What the Future Leaders Academy Offers The Future Leaders Academy is a free programme that aims to provide young people with the qualifications, and experiences they need to become effective volunteers and leaders. The programme is open to all young people between the ages of 13-18, whether they are affiliated with a cricket club or not. In fact, participants come from a wide variety of sporting backgrounds, reflecting the programme’s inclusivity. One of the key aspects of the Academy is its alignment with the Duke of Edinburgh Award volunteering hours. This gives young people the opportunity to earn a prestigious qualification while gaining practical experience that will benefit both themselves and their communities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85cBCGL66i0 Launching the Future Leaders Academy The Future Leaders Academy officially launched on October 28, 2024, with a special event held at The Sixes, Westgate Oxford. This launch event allowed the 187 participants to meet their fellow Academy members, engage with programme facilitators, and take part in cricket-themed activities in a relaxed and supportive environment. The event set the tone for what promises to be an exciting and transformative year ahead, with participants coming from 43 cricket clubs and 58 schools, with a mix of backgrounds and interests. The diversity within the cohort is a testament to the programme’s inclusive nature, which encourages young people from all walks of life to get involved and make a difference. The Academy is not just about cricket — it’s about learning life skills that will last a lifetime. In its first year, the Academy offers a range of eight modules focusing on areas such as coaching, umpiring, scoring, safeguarding, and first aid. Participants are required to complete four mandatory modules and can choose from up to four optional ones that range from Nutrition, Psychology, Grounds workshops and Marketing. These modules are designed to be practical, hands-on, and immediately applicable to the participants' roles as volunteers. The modules take place during the October, February, and April half-terms—to ensure that participants have the chance to apply what they’ve learned before the new cricket season begins. The goal is not just to impart knowledge but to give young people the confidence to use those skills in real-world situations, whether in their local cricket clubs or in their wider communities. Measuring the Impact: Building Confidence, Leadership, and More Although the programme is still in its early stages, initial feedback from participants, parents, and facilitators has been overwhelmingly positive. The Academy has already made a significant impact on participants' confidence, leadership skills, and overall personal development. For instance, in the October 2024 workshops, 94% of participants reported an increase in their confidence after attending the First Aid modules, and 88% doing likewise after the Coaching and Umpiring modules. The impact of the programme extends beyond confidence. 94% of parents noted a positive influence on their child’s leadership, and communication skills, while 88% of parents also observed a positive effect on their child’s mental health, underlining the holistic benefits of the Academy. Feedback from parents has been overwhelmingly supportive, with 94% of parents reporting their children enjoyed the modules. Looking Ahead: Building a Sustainable Pipeline of Volunteers The Future Leaders Academy is only just beginning, but its impact is already being felt across Oxfordshire. With a strong foundation in place, there are plans to expand the programme to reach more young people, particularly in schools across the county. The long-term vision is to create a sustainable pipeline of volunteers and leaders who can continue to support the local cricket scene and other community initiatives for years to come. As the programme grows, so too will its impact—on individual participants, their clubs, and the wider community. By helping young people develop essential life skills through cricket, the Future Leaders Academy is playing a pivotal role in shaping the leaders of tomorrow. The Future Leaders Academy is proof that sport can be a powerful tool for personal development, community engagement, and leadership. If you're a young person with an interest in volunteering, coaching, or becoming a community leader, the Future Leaders Academy is the perfect opportunity to start your journey. In October the ECB published the Volunteer Action Plan which laid out our strategy for recreational volunteers - also known as The Cricket Collective - over the next four years. Our objective is to increase the number of young people volunteering across all roles by 50%. Initiatives such as Oxfordshire's will play a key part in achieving this ambition as we look to build a national movement of young volunteers who can not only deliver the sport, but also help shape it for future generations to come. You can read the full Action Plan here (https://resources.ecb.co.uk/ecb/document/2024/10/21/f1f3813b-2ca4-4934-901e-78ed92e161e6/ECB-Volunteer-Action-Plan-FINAL.pdf)

Reducing barriers to enter the Pathway Programme 2024/25

18/12/2024

Oxfordshire Cricket remain committed to removing talent inclusion barriers within Pathway Programme in 2024-25 and have continued to adopt two interventions to achieve this within Phase 1 of the 2024-25 programme. Oxfordshire Cricket provides an equitable, accessible and inclusive Pathway for both Girls and Boys that is open to receiving eligible player nominations via the annual player search process that solicits player nominations. The OCB recognises that players may face talent inclusion barriers into talent pathways and have sought to minimise barriers to access by welcoming eligible player recommendations from any individual via the OCB player search process for the second consecutive year. To ensure that finance is not a barrier to participation, Oxfordshire Cricket have committed to again delivering Phase 1 of the pathway free of any participation charge to reduce barriers for talent inclusion. This has been achieved by making use of the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) Additional County Age Group (CAG) funding to reduce the overall programme costs to parents across the ECB defined County Age Groups of Girls’ Under 11 to Under 18 and Boys’ Under 13 to Under 18. To ensure that the removal of phase 1 participation charge is fair and equitable to all players within the pathway ages, Oxfordshire Cricket have continued to commit their own financial reserves to support the Boys Under 11 to Under 12s who do not benefit from the additional ECB Funding. Phase 1 Headlines Oxfordshire Cricket delivered in excess of 354 hours of developmental opportunities across the Under 11 to Under 18 Age Groups which comprised 177 sessions that took place in November and December 2024. 863 players accepted their place within Phase 1 of the pathway programme and were coached and continually assessed for their readiness to participate in Phase 2. Players who participated in Phase 1 were offered 3 or 4 x 2 hour sessions over a six week period depending upon the age group that were free of participation charges Pathway Manager, Sam Arthurs said: “Being able to remove cost as a barrier for participation within our opening observation phase makes our pathway more accessible to aspiring cricketers, especially those from diverse groups. In addition to this, our player bursary support mechanism will help to reduce the cost of participation, for those who require financial assistance, in phases 2 and 3. We believe in a longitudinal approach to talent identification and development and as such we have opted to provide players with either 6 hours or 8 hours of contact time during phase 1. These sessions help us to identify pools of players to be selected to progress to phase 2, but more importantly provide players with access to coaching support which we hope will influence their long-term development and involvement within the game. Additionally, we have been delighted to offer all of those involved within phase 1 the opportunity to access supplementary support in the form of a bespoke Psychology programme and a support series for parents, guardians and carers via the ECB and non-Perfect Dad, which commences in 2025. We are excited about the ongoing progressions being made to our pathway programme and continue to work toward making cricket the sport of choice in Oxfordshire.” Performance Director, Matthew Barnes said: “We remain committed to reducing barriers to entering the pathway and have evidenced this by sustaining our interventions that remove accessibility and financial barriers to Phase 1 of our pathway programme.”
Oxfordshire Sees Significant Growth in Junior Recreational Cricket in 2024

12/12/2024

Junior cricket in Oxfordshire has experienced a remarkable surge in participation in 2024, highlighting the growing enthusiasm for the sport among young players across the region. With a diverse range of competitions catering to age groups from nine to nineteen, this year’s programs have seen significant increases in engagement, demonstrating the county’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of cricket talent. To view the full 2024 report CLICK HERE Record Numbers Across the Board Please note, the data on junior participation excludes All Stars Cricket and Dynamos Cricket. The numbers tell a compelling story of success: Total Participants: 4,373 players engaged in junior competitions, a 14.27% increase from 2023. Teams Entered: 320+ teams took part, underscoring the breadth of opportunities for young cricketers. Matches Played: 709 matches were completed, representing a 10% rise in completed games compared to the previous year. Scorecard Activity: A 55% increase in Play-Cricket scorecards highlights a robust commitment to record-keeping and performance tracking. Age Group Highlights A particularly notable success was the growth in the Under-15 category, which added 108 players to reach a total of 789. This achievement is especially significant given that the Under-15 age group is often where participation drops nationally across all sports in England, making this increase a promising sign for sustained engagement. Participation increases were evident across most age groups: The Under-9 category welcomed 789 players, 80 more than in 2023. Under-13 participation saw a 97-player increase, reaching 1,131 participants. Under-15 players grew by 108, totaling 789. This growth was supported by contributions from local clubs and authorities, with South Oxfordshire and West Oxfordshire leading the way in participant numbers, showing respective increases of 300 and 229 juniors. Girls’ Cricket Also Thriving Girls’ cricket made notable strides in 2024: Total participation among girls increased by 34 players, with a 4.61% year-over-year growth. The Under-11 girls’ category saw the most significant improvement, growing by 14 players to reach 227. Although there were some decreases in older age groups, these were outweighed by the overall rise in younger participants, indicating a strong foundation for future growth. Improved Match Completion Rates An emphasis on match completion has yielded tangible results: A 10% increase in completed mixed matches reflects the improved organisation and weather management strategies. The total number of completed fixtures reached 1,081, an impressive 40% increase from the previous year. For girls’ competitions, 154 matches were completed, marginally exceeding the 153 in 2023 despite challenges such as cancellations and no-results. 2024 Finals Day Winners 2024 Mixed Finals Day Winners 2024 Mixed Finals Day Winners U11 Hundred Banbury CC U11 Thame Town CC U13 Ron Maudsley Cup Tiddington CC U13 Tiddington CC Hundred Delayed into 2025 U15 Cumnor CC U15 Cup Wolvercote CC Hundred Wolvercote CC U19 League Oxford CC 2024 Group Winners 2024 Mixed Group Winners 2024 Girls Group Winners U11 League Banbury CC U11 Hardball League Goring on Thames CC Witney Mills CC U11 Softball League Warborough and Shillingford CC Tiddington CC U13 Hardball League Eynsham CC Henley CC Tiddington CC Cumnor CC U15 Performance League Cumnor CC U11 Hardball Pairs Banbury CC U15 Development League Eynsham CC Witney Mills CC Eynsham CC Steventon CC Oxford CC Goring on Thames CC East & West Hendred CC U11 Softball Pairs Bicester and North Oxford CC Tiddington CC Stanton Harcourt CC U11 Hundred Witney Mills CC Banbury CC Goring on Thames CC U13 League Sandford St Martin CC Cumnor CC Oxford CC Kingston Bagpuize CC Steventon CC Peppard Stoke Row CC Chipping Norton CC Charlbury CC U13 Hardball Pairs Oxford and Bletchingdon Nondescripts CC Eynsham CC Moreton CC Horspath CC U13 Hundred Sandford St Martin CC Banbury CC Peppard Stoke Row CC Cumnor CC U15 Banbury CC Langford CC Minster Lovell CC Abingdon Vale CC Cholsey CC Goring on Thames CC Witney Mills CC Wolvercote CC U17 Banbury CC Cumnor CC Didcot CC U19 Banbury CC Aston Rowant CC Looking Ahead The momentum from 2024’s successes positions Oxfordshire Cricket well for future expansion. The emphasis on inclusive programs, robust club participation, and strategic investments in youth cricket ensures that the sport will continue to thrive, inspiring young players for years to come. Nick Pinhol, Operations Director at Oxfordshire Cricket, reflected on the year’s achievements, stating, “The growth of recreational junior cricket in 2024 has been truly inspiring. It’s a testament to the hard work of clubs, volunteers, and players who have come together to create an engaging and inclusive environment. We’re proud to see so many young people enjoying the game and building skills that will last a lifetime.” To enter your club into our 2025 junior competitions please contact Recreational Cricket Coordinator, Conor O’Hickey at [email protected]
Jonny Cater Announces his Retirement

12/12/2024

After fourteen years representing Oxfordshire and ten as captain, Jonny Cater has called time on his playing career within Oxfordshire. Jonny led Oxfordshire as captain for eight seasons’ across all three formats within National Counties Cricket Association (NCCA) competitions, before retiring from red ball cricket at the end of the 2022 season and then for a further two years across both white ball formats in 2023 and 2024. Jonny had departed the red ball game in 2023 having played 49 matches for the county since in competitive cricket his debut in 2011, amassing 3448 runs at an average of 43.10, including six centuries and 23 half centuries. Of his six centuries, he made a hundred in each innings of the match against Cornwall in 2013 and had a highest score of 117 not out against Shropshire in 2014. Jonny completed 136 dismissals with the gloves, including 113 catches and 23 stumpings whilst also leading Oxfordshire to the NCCA Championship title as captain in 2021. Jonny led Oxfordshire as captain in the white ball cricket competitions for ten seasons, lifting the NCCA Twenty20 for the first time in Oxfordshire history in 2022. Having qualified for the NCCA T20 Finals Day again two years later in 2024, it was unfitting that two washed out attempts to play the finals prevented Jonny one last opportunity to win another title for Oxfordshire. Jonny made over a hundred appearances for Oxfordshire across the Twenty20 and One Day Trophy format, amassing 2,829 runs at an average of 37.07, including three countries within One Day Trophy. During his final season representing Oxfordshire, Jonny became the first batter in NCCA history to score one thousand runs in the NCCA Twenty20 competitions, an achievement that reinforces both his longevity and continued performance level over many years. Jonny completed 118 dismissals with the gloves in NCCA white ball cricket, including 86 catches and 32 stumpings, alongside 5 run outs. Oxfordshire Cricket would like to take the opportunity to congratulate Jonny on a tremendous playing career and to recognise both his dedication to the County as captain over a ten year period and his contribution to Oxfordshire throughout his career. Oxfordshire wish Jonny all the very best for the future and hope that he will now enjoy some extended time with his young family after all the years with the Oxfordshire shirt on. Career Statistics For Oxfordshire CCC in T20 Cricket Games Innings Not Outs Runs Highest Score Average 50s 100s 4s 6s 52 47 14 1186 72 35.94 5 0 71 54 For Oxfordshire CCC in One Day Cricket Games Innings Not Outs Runs Highest Score Average 50s 100s 4s 6s 55 51 8 1643 104 38.21 8 3 125 25 For Oxfordshire CCC (3 Day Championship Cricket) Games Innings Not Outs Runs Highest Score Average 50s 100s 4s 6s 49 90 10 3448 117* 43.3 23 6 444 43 For Oxfordshire CCC (first team all formats) Games Innings Not Outs Runs Highest Score Average 50s 100s 4s 6s 168 194 35 6535 117* 41.1 41 9 640 122 Jonny Cater said: “It's been a pleasure representing Oxfordshire CCC over the past fourteen seasons. When starting back in 2011, I could never have imagined representing this county for so long. I will walk away with some unbelievable memories, across all formats. The notable ones are the two trophy successes in recent years. I also feel immense pride seeing a number of players move from Oxfordshire to professional cricket under our tenure. Personally, scoring back to back hundreds down in Cornwall to get capped, and becoming the first NCCA player to score 1000 20/20 runs are achievements I will look back on and be incredibly proud of. NCCA cricket is tough going, and I have always wanted to raise my game to face the best club players and professionals across the country. Playing for fourteen seasons and competing with the best club players in the country must mean I have performed over a long timespan, this is something I feel extremely proud of. I want to say a huge thank you to all the players who have represented Oxfordshire CCC since becoming captain eight years ago. Without your hard work and dedication, the success the county achieved would never have been possible. I would like to say a huge thank you to Rupert Evans. I regard Rupert as family, and he is someone I have the utmost respect for. Without Rupert, Oxfordshire CCC would simply not be the same. Special mentions also go to Paul White, Chris Cox, Matt Barnes and Chris Clements, all have been instrumental in their roles over the years. I hope the county continues to strive for excellence across all three formats. This is always a challenge, knowing the competition is strong across the country. But I believe more trophy success is just around the corner, and I will be supporting from afar and hope the boys can achieve this very soon. County Men’s Head Coach, Rupert Evans said: “Jonny was born in Oxford but began his representative cricket career, playing pathway cricket for Buckinghamshire. In 2011 he decided to leave Buckinghamshire to join Oxfordshire and made his Minor Counties debut for Oxfordshire as a batter against Dorset at Dean Park County ground in Bournemouth, scoring 98 and 48 to help Oxfordshire beat Dorset by 5 wickets. During the 2012 season Jonny took on the role of wicket-keeper batter when Ian Hawtin was injured. He continued as a permanent wicket-keeper batter from 2012 until his retirement at the end of the 2024 season. During his fourteen years playing for Oxfordshire Jonny worked hard to develop his batting and wicket-keeping skills to become one of the best wicket-keeper batters in National Counties Cricket. He was a tough competitive captain who enjoyed being in a battle. His style of captaincy did not always endear him to the opposition, but it gained him respect from our players, opposition teams and officials. Jonny, you have been a wonderful servant to Oxfordshire Cricket, I’ve enjoyed coaching you and working with you over the past fourteen years. I will miss chatting to you about team selection and tactics, but most of all I will miss travelling with you on long journeys, to Cumbria, Northumberland and Cornwall in your flying machine.”
