ECB National Programmes: Priority Window Update

The message in this post has been provided by the ECB National Programmes

With courses being steadily uploaded to Clubspark and the priority window launch getting ever closer, we wanted to provide an overview of the 2025 key timings for you to be aware of:

• 7 Day Priority Window - Wednesday 12th March
• National Public Launch - Wednesday 19th March  
• Courses Start - Thursday 8th May onwards

The new date for the priority window is now Wednesday 12th March. We have pushed this back by one week for a couple of reasons. The first is to avoid overlap with The Hundred ticket buying window. Tournament tickets go on sale on 4th March (we know many of our National Programmes families are avid supporters of The Hundred) so we have chosen not to encourage those families to make two purchases in the same week.  

Secondly, with the updates to the new Clubspark system, we are keen to ensure that all clubs and centres have enough time to upload courses ahead of parents/carers accessing the system to book courses. We hope this additional week will help to make sure you have enough time to complete the relevant administrative tasks and help get prepared for the exciting season ahead. 

Tasks for clubs to focus on in the next 2 weeks...

If you’ve not already, now is the time to check your Stripe account to make sure all is in order ahead of course registration opening on 12th March. Please log into your Stripe account and if any information is needed, it should show at the top of your dashboard (as a notification).   

If you need support visit our Stripe Help Centre or you can contact Stripe directly.

Please remember to visit our Help Centre for any further information you may need.

Please log in to Clubspark and review your organisation checklist to make sure all actions have been completed.

As always at this time of year, please continue to focus on getting your courses uploaded well ahead of the priority window deadline, in less than 2 weeks now.

If you require any further guidance on setting up All Stars and Dynamos courses and ensuring they are visible on Clubspark, please visit the All Stars Cricket and Dynamos Cricket Help Centre.

Thanks to those of you for joining our first ever social media webinar on Tuesday evening. It was great to see so many of you engaged and asking great questions. We look forward to seeing loads more stand out content being generated in 2025 and hopefully lots of requests for collab posts with the All Stars and Dynamos Instagram accounts!

If you were not able to join the event you can watch it back or view the slides using the buttons below.

We are keen to hear any feedback you may have on the webinar, so please send us an email with your thoughts at NationalProgrammesMarketing@ecb.co.uk.
