About Us
Welcome to Local League Cricket, Birmingham’s Premier Community Cricket League
Founded in 2003, Local League Cricket has grown to become a cornerstone of community sports in Birmingham. Our league started with a modest number of teams and has since expanded to over 50 teams, bringing together players from diverse backgrounds and all walks of life.
Our Mission
Local League Cricket was established with the mission to provide a platform for cricket enthusiasts, particularly those from deprived and disadvantaged backgrounds, to play and enjoy the sport in a safe and supportive environment. We aim to foster community spirit, inclusivity, and a love for cricket through our league.
Our Growth
Since its inception, Local League Cricket has expanded significantly due to the dedication and hard work of its volunteers. Through these collective efforts, the league has developed into a nationally recognised platform, attracting players from beyond Birmingham. Our commitment extends to improving local cricket infrastructure, most notably through the development and maintenance of cricket grounds such as the one in Calthorpe Park, adjacent to the renowned Edgbaston Cricket Ground.
Our Impact
Local League Cricket is not just about the game; it’s about building community connections and enhancing wellbeing. Our league has provided a platform for over 50 teams, offering opportunities for physical activity, teamwork, and personal development. Spectators, especially the elderly, enjoy watching the matches, contributing to their mental health and social engagement.
Join Us
Whether you are a player looking to join a team, a fan of cricket wanting to enjoy local matches, or someone interested in volunteering, Local League Cricket welcomes you. Together, we can continue to build a vibrant and inclusive community through the sport we love.
