Girls-only teams are on the rise!

With the popularity of All Stars and women’s cricket, girls’ cricket has also experienced steady growth. In Somerset, we have a number of clubs with girls-only sections, playing both softball and hardball cricket. Clubs interested in U11 and U13 softball cricket may want to read more about our softball offer. Clubs looking to develop a girls-only hardball section may wish to follow the lead of other clubs and enter their youth league as well as getting involved with our hardball development day.
