Over the last 12 months, Somerset has witnessed a tremendous growth not only in participation in the women and girls’ section, but also in the development of female coaches, umpires and scores.
With a commitment to growing and diversifying the volunteer workforce across the county, and to support this growing movement, the Foundation has arranged a series of upcoming events for women who wish to get involved in these three areas of the game.

These course will be an ideal opportunity for Women to get a better understand off umpiring and scoring and will be able to provide more opportunity of additional opportunities of anyone who is looking at taking there umpiring and scoring further.
