Devon has a proud history of producing high quality players and teams throughout our County age groups. With 11 age groups across both the boys and girls game, there are hundreds of talented players representing Devon at the highest levels. To enable these boys and girls to play and learn through the game we have a group of dedicated, volunteer managers to organise and support their county cricket.
The role of a county age group manager is extremely important in the development of talented young players in the county. These managers are passionate about county cricket and are vital to the development of young county cricketers. In partnership with their coach, they provide a team that helps develops talent and what it takes to play in successful teams.
As we move into the next 12 month cycle of cricket, we are searching for new managers to fill 2 vacancies, one in a boys team and one in a girls team. We hope that the successful managers would be able to fulfill a minimum term of 3 years in this role.
