Nominations are open for the 2021 Grassroot Cricket Awards
The Grassroot Cricket Awards 2021 are now open to nominate members of the local cricket community in Leicestershire.
Formerly known as the OSCA’s, the Grassroot Cricket Awards are a great opportunity to nominate local heroes at your cricket club who deserve to be recognised and thanked for their efforts within the game.
Whether it’s a local coach who dedicates countless hours to supporting the development of players, an umpire with years of experience or an exceptional volunteer who is integral to running local cricket, we want to hear your nominations.
Nominees are based upon the dedication and support shown over the past 12 months, to recognise new volunteers into the cricket community or individuals who have dedicated years to the game.
There are eight categories in total, with a description below.
