JOIN THE ACTION

AFTER MADRASAH, IT’S GAME TIME.

Cricket Arena in the Mosques brings free, coached cricket to boys aged 12–15 — delivered in the same buildings where they attend madrasah. Boys simply stay on after their lesson, meet their coach and play: one venue, one pick-up, and no extra travel for parents.

Sessions are led by Cricket Arena’s qualified coaches and run in partnership with local mosques — partnerships built over successive summers of All Stars, Dynamos and junior cricket, with sessions filling within days.

Every block builds real skills, fitness and confidence — and it leads somewhere. Players progress into the Junior Hundred, our annual competition for ages 12–15, where Sheffield winners have gone on to Yorkshire Finals Day.

In the Mosques is part of our replicable ‘Cricket Arena in the…’ model, taking cricket into mosques, schools, parks and community spaces. If your mosque or madrasah would like sessions for its young people, get in touch.

WHAT PARTICIPANTS SAY...

"We've been practising every week at YMA in the sports hall, getting ready for the tournament. Before this I didn't really know how to play cricket — now I understand the rules and I can play properly."
