Junior Section Here, at Philadelphia Cricket & Community Club, we are extremely proud of our commitment to our junior cricket. Currently, 3 players of the Durham County Cricket Club senior squad, i.e. Ben Raine, Scott Borthwick and Matthew Potts, all represented Philadelphia CCC at junior level. The Club runs 5 junior teams, i.e. U9, U11, U13, U14 and U15s. Although there is no lower age limit to be able to play for the U11 team, coaches, in consultation with parents / guardians will assess the skill development, physical and mental readiness of the child concerned to ensure they are playing at the appropriate level. In making a decision to ‘play up’, coaches will ensure the child continues to enjoy their cricket, the experience is positive and developmental and the child has a supportive peer network. ‘Play up’ is applicable both indoors and outdoors. ​ Our junior section is very much a family affair and we encourage the whole family to be part of it. ​ All of our junior teams are managed by fully qualified coaches.
