The Grassroots Cricket Awards are a national reward and recognition scheme to support grass roots cricket and the vast army of volunteers who ensure that cricket can be enjoyed by so many at all levels, with the overall aim of rewarding the contribution that these volunteers make to the game.
Each year we ask our clubs and organisations to nominate worthy volunteers for an award so that we can say 'thank you' to them for all of their hard work.
These awards are a fantastic opportunity for you to nominate and recognise the volunteers who make cricket possible at your club.
