Sheffield Collegiate CC

Founded in 1881 Sheffield Collegiate is one of the oldest established clubs in the area, based at Abbeydale Park, Sheffield, with excellent playing facilities on both our main grounds on the same site.

We are known around the cricketing world as a club producing great players and officials such as Michael Vaughan - Former England Captain; Joe Root – Current England player and former Test Captain; Richard Kettleborough – named Umpire of the Year 2015 by the ICC Elite Panel; and Billy Root – Glamorgan County Cricket Club.

We have won the Yorkshire League seven times, the National Club Competition in 2000 at Lord’s and the 1984 National Under 13 Club Championship, together with 35 other Leagues and Championships. In 2019 we reached the last 4 in England in the National Club T20 Championship.

We have strong links with all of the local primary schools, offering taster days, curriculum time coaching and tournament days at Abbeydale Park. Our schools coaching is coordinated and run by players and coaches at SCCC. Our work in schools is often the first step for young people into cricket before then coming to try our sessions on a Friday night.

We are a club which prides itself on its local roots, and one of our main goals is community interaction and engagement. We also have a rapidly expanding Women and Girls Section which welcomes women and girls from 11+ of all abilities, and we have close links with the Yorkshire Cricket Board and the Yorkshire County Cricket Club.

We have strong Women and Girls and Junior Sections and we are always looking to welcome new players, members, sponsors and volunteers to continue to help up to improve and progress this great cricket club.
