This year we are planning a weekly coaching session aimed specifically at girls - whether they are new to cricket or have played before, they are all welcome. Initially we will have one group and then will subdivide into smaller groups to be able to work on specific skills, or to divide into age groups.

In the past the girls have always been welcome to come and train at the club in mixed sessions with the boys - and this is still possible if people prefer to do this.

There are numerous possibilities for entering competitive leagues and tournaments as well as there being county training specifically for girls. If we have enough players who are keen to play we could enter one of the upcoming Girls Cricket Festivals in May and June. These are for U11 and U13. Girls matches can also be arranged against boys teams.

Our coach on Sunday morning will be Nigel Bruce from Future Legends who has experience of coaching girls.
