Welcome to the home of primary school cricket competitions in Surrey!

The Surrey Cricket Foundation, in partnership with the Surrey Schools Cricket Association (SSCA), is dedicated to providing fun and competitive opportunities for primary school teams. We host a wide variety of both softball and hardball competitions throughout the year, catering to different age groups and skill levels. These events are a fantastic way for young players to experience the joy of representing their school, develop their cricket skills, and learn important lessons in teamwork and sportsmanship.

All the details for our upcoming competitions can be found in the schedule below. If you have any questions about an SCF-hosted competition, please reach out to us at competition@surreycricket.com. For any questions regarding an SSCA-hosted competition, you can contact Phil Everest at peverest@ssca.org.uk.
