In South Africa, the Cricket Hub development programme seeks to address the lack of access to cricketing excellence in disadvantaged communities by offering coaching, facilities, and support to the players.
To assess the effectiveness of the Hub programme through evaluating the perceptions of the players and their parents/guardians.
This study used Likert-scale questionnaires to systematically capture the perspectives of the players and their parents/guardians. A total of 230 questionnaires were issued to players and their parents/guardians. There was a 46% response rate for the players and a 44% response rate for the parents/guardians.
The perception of the players and their parents/guardians was overwhelmingly positive across all key themes. These themes included player development, training environment and resources, match exposure, holistic impact, safety, and communication.
The Hub programme advances the agenda of Cricket South Africa by fostering cricketing excellence in disadvantaged communities.
