The Friendly Cricket Collective
We use cricket to bring people together by opening up fun, friendly, low-commitment alternatives to traditional club cricket.
Why we exist
There are millions of adults who like cricket but don't play.We're on a mission to change this by opening up sociable, low-commitment alternatives to league cricket and designing the game into community life.We build communities so people can enjoy cricket as part of busy work and family life.
Friendly Cricket in South Bristol
We started out by creating the kind of sociable cricket we wanted in South Bristol but couldn't find. It began with a one-off game for parents at Victoria Park Primary School and has grown into a thriving community, a social side, regular nets sessions, meet-ups and matches.
South Bristol Friendly Cricket Community
A community not a club!Joining a club can be daunting, even if you really enjoy playing cricket. We love the game but wanted an informal alternative, which is why we've set up our Friendly Cricket Community in South Bristol.Our main WhatsApp group is where you'll find all the details on upcoming games, nets sessions, socials and more. It's the hub for organizing things and connecting with other members of our community.

Primary Parent Cricket
We started out with a group of mums and dads at our local primary school. Cricket has been brilliant for building social connections with fellow parents and building a meaningful community around a shared interest.Together with the Googly Fund, we're looking to grow Primary Parent Cricket. If you'd like to get a parent team together at your school, we can offer some seed funding to help you set up an inaugural match.Find out more by emailing [email protected]NB: Victoria Park parents will happily provide an opposition if you get group together.
