Information for Families
How age groups work
Most American youth cricket runs through clubs and academies rather than schools, sorted into age bands that typically run from about U8 up to U19, though the exact bands vary by program. Many programs take complete beginners, but check directly with the program.
While this calendar fills up, the fastest way to find something near you is our state-by-state coaching directory.
How tournaments get listed here
New listings go up as organizers submit them and we confirm the details. Finished seasons are cleared rather than left on the page as expired events.
Every listing we publish is checked for dates, location, age groups and how to register. If we cannot verify it, it does not go up.
