The pathway for cricketers in Sport Central starts at primary school level where children are introduced to the game through the Taggarts Jaguar Cricket Introductory Programme. Clubs in the local area advertise their junior sections through festivals and tournaments held at the club.

Those players identified as talented athletes are invited to attend winter training sessions, through these sessions they are then nominated for district squads.

October 2007 sees the introduction of the SportCentral Cricket Academy which will give opportunity for those athletes who have the potential to represent Scotland at cricket to receive quality coaching regularly and a generic sports training programme in strength and conditioning, nutritional advice, lifestyle skills and psychology.
