Development Planning

A club development plan is required annually if you are either a Focus Club or if the club is trying to achieve Club Mark accreditation. The development plan must follow the format provided through the play-cricket website.

When a club submits its Club Mark Evidence file for accreditation or re-accreditation to the DCB it must contain evidence that a development plan has been submitted to the ECB to be used as a reporting tool to Sport England and the government.

The club development plan process was changed to the play-cricket format in May 2008. For details of the new club development plan process please click here.

The ECB have produced a number of files to assist with the Club Development Planning process:
