It's a Great Sport! Cricket is a minority game in Scotland, but our club continues to prosper as we recognize that developing young people in our sport is critical to our future. To this end we have been instrumental in conducting cricket coaching in East Kilbride Schools for over ten years. The Club has its own Junior Committee, to increase and focus its effort on junior cricket. We have a 'track record' of successfully developing young players. EKCC young players have represent Scotland, in junior teams and three of our juniors have visited Australia with West District.

EKCC have joined Scottish Cricket's 'TOP Club' Scheme under which the Club have gained national recognition and approval for their policies and organization of junior cricket. For details of this scheme 'click the Top Club 'logo'.
At the end of season 2006 we achieved the TOP Club Bronze Award (at the time only 6 clubs in Scotland had achieved this).
