There are many ways for girls and women of all ages and skill levels to get involved in Cricket in NSW!

Cricket NSW have bold plans to increase the number of girls and women playing cricket, working hand in hand with clubs, associations and schools.

Cricket Blast in Schools

Thanks to generous sponsorship by our friends at Woolworths and Commonwealth Bank we can come to your school and offer a 4 week program. We may even be able to offer this for free to engage more girls.

If you’d like to have a program at your school, please get in school with julie.stafford@cricketnsw.com.au and tell us your school.

Social Cricket

We understand not everyone wants to play with a helmet, pads and a hard ball.

  • There are smaller team sizes to encourage greater match action for all players

All girls cricket leagues provide fun and competitive cricket competition for girls.

  • Recommended for girls aged 11-18
  • 2 hour games
  • Different formats allow girls to progress based on their ability
