Junior Hundred
WHAT'S IT ABOUT?
For ages 12–15
Outdoor windball cricket
Summer holiday season
Fast games. Big moments.
THE JUNIOR HUNDRED IS WHERE YOUNG TALENT TAKES CENTRE STAGE.
The Junior Hundred is Cricket Arena’s premier outdoor summer tournament for boys aged 12–15 — bringing together madrasahs, community teams, and schools from across Sheffield for a full day of action-packed cricket.
The 8-a-side format with 50-ball innings delivers fast-paced, exciting matches that test both skill and teamwork. Players compete in a group stage and knockout finals — all played on top-quality 2G Flicx pitches.
But it’s more than just cricket. Players grow in confidence, learn leadership, and build friendships in a positive, structured environment. Winners go on to represent Sheffield in the county-wide Yorkshire Junior Hundred — giving young talent a platform to shine.
Backed by partners like Central Co-Op, Yorkshire Cricket Foundation, Sheffield City Trust and in 2025 by the MHCLG Windrush Day scheme — the Junior Hundred helps youth potential thrive on a big stage.
