Bloxwich Cricket Club has been recognised for its commitment to being a safe, effective
and child friendly cricket club. In Novenber 2005 the club was awarded the prestigious
“ECB Clubmark Accreditation”.

The Clubmark award recognises that Bloxwich Cricket Club is able to provide a safe and
well-equipped environment for children to enjoy the game. The club is also a Focus Club
for Staffordshire Cricket, which means it will be able to build on its success and develop
links with local schools and community groups.


The club already provides coaching at local schools and has strong links within the
community which encourages children to join the club. Boys and girls of all ages and
abilities are welcome and will benefit directly from better organised and safer sessions
and improved facilities. The club is continually creating new links with local schools and
other community groups with a view to creating new partnerships. Teachers and community
groups are welcome to contact the club who will work within schools by providing coaches
and/or coaching, and will participate in programmes working with and providing support for
teaching staff.

Players of all abilities and experience are welcome to the sessions supervised by the club's
ECB Coaches and all kit is provided.

In October 2005 Bloxwich Cricket Club became one of the first four Sports Clubs
out of 67 in the Walsall Borough to be accredited with the "Walsall Sports Club Standard".
To obtain the accreditation the club has had to evidence that its managament and
procedures meet the minimum requirements that a sports club must have in place.


The club is now officially recognised by Walsall Council as a quality Walsall sports club
and will be added to the accredited clubs database on the Council website and
actively promoted to schools and the community. This is a tremendous achievment for the
club which is proud to display the accreditation certificate in the clubhouse.

Bloxwich Cricket Club currently runs four Saturday cricket teams competing in the
Staffordshire Clubs Cricket Championship. The First XI play in Division 1
the Second XI in Division 1A, with the Thirds competing in Division 3
and the Fourths in Division 3A.
 
The Club runs two Sunday teams both competing in the South Staffordshire Sunday Cricket League.

A Sunday 3rd XI is selected for occasional friendly games.

The Club’s Colts section is presently thriving. Five Colts Teams will compete
in the West Midlands Youth Cricket League in the 2007 season,
Under 17, Under 15, Under 13, Under 11and Under 10.

In the 2006 season an under 10 side was entered in the league for the first time
which is due to an upsurge in younger members over the last year.
This is as a direct result of the Clubs committment to coaching at local primary schools.

In the 2007 season, Bloxwich Cricket Club will be entering a girls under 15 team into
the Cannock Chase Cricket Development Group Girls Cricket League.
