Canterbury Cricket are running a Girls' cricket programme, with the expressed aim of having fun, over 5 weeks beginning Tuesday 9th November. Read on to find out more information.

Currently the Black Caps are competing in the T20 World Cup, aiming to add the shorter form of the game to their test world champion title. In March and April 2022, the Women's  1-day cricket World Cup takes place in New Zealand, with the final being held at Hagley Oval.

Here is a chance for girls to get a taste of the great game, in a friendly and fun environment.

If you are keen for your child to be involved, please email Rebecca Gillett @ Canterbury Cricket

Girls Smash is aimed at year 3-6 with an emphasis on having fun with friends. Girls play in teams of 6 with an equal opportunity to bat, bowl and field. All equipment is provided, no prior cricket experience is needed and every participant receives a Girls Smash t-shirt as part of their registration.
