Bingham Cricket Club are running weekly girls cricket sessions this winter and have so far seen some great cricketing skills and Saturday morning fun!
The sessions run every Saturday from 9-10am at the studio in the Toot Hill Leisure Centre in Bingham, and are focused on building core softball cricket skills. Over a dozen girls have attended so far and the club are keen to get more girls coming along.
Junior Cricket Manager, Helen Fox Andrews said: ‘We have really focused on getting girls to try the sport – our junior membership is growing hugely, about 95% of which are male, and we couldn’t understand why as we have had female players represent our club all the way to first team level. Cricket is a very inclusive sport and we want to develop that environment at Bingham’.
The club have targeted school Years 3 to 6, and Fox Andrews explained: ‘Despite the fact that we have a Womens section and some older girls already playing hardball cricket, we want to encourage this group to play together and hopefully develop as they progress through the club’.
No equipment or experience is required to join the sessions, and first session is free of charge.
