<p>Kent Cricket Board today released updated news of the Focus Club Community Clusters (FCCCs) in Kent.&nbsp; The FCCC programme is designed to help some of Kent&#8217;s leading cricket clubs in their future development.&nbsp;</p>
<p>KCB had an amazing response to the initiative and the first clubs in Kent are now starting to work towards delivering high quality opportunities for young players. A full list of clubs involved is available via. the link underneath the map above.</p>
<p>This is the second list of 46 clubs in total which has now been published and confirms which clubs are involved.&nbsp;&nbsp; All clubs have had to work hard to secure the status and it represents the start of an exciting journey that will influence the way in which they will develop.</p>
<p>All clubs embarking on the FCCC&nbsp;programme have already achieved Clubmark status which shows that they are well run, ambitious and clearly having aspirations beyond&nbsp;their current activity.&nbsp; KCB continue to provide support to the management of the club to ensure they continue this good work.</p>
<p>The Kent Cricket Board club development programme&nbsp;is turning out to be a wonderful success story. 52 clubs have now achieved ClubMark accreditation and tales of booming youth sections, improved credibility, successful funding bids and high quality provision for young players abound.&nbsp; This is thought to be the biggest club development programme of any sport in the county.</p>
