In Devon, we now have a thriving and active girls' league which creates a pathway from under 11s softball through to women's softball and hardball cricket. Every year, the opportunities to play grows and girls can access the cricket that they want to play. 

It is still important to support the girls playing outside the league structure with events for new players, events for those who would like to improve and events that are simply cricket for the fun of it! All of these events are detailed below.

Pre-Season Harball Sessions

These sessions are ideal for those who have had limited indoor winter training and would like to develop their confidence ahead of the new season. Open to all Year 6 to Year 9.

Colour Me Cricket

A fantastic day full of colour and fun and an ideal way to end the season for the clubs! 

We now end the season each year with this immensely fun event based on the 'Colour Me Run' events. The team work together to collect 'colours' from a bingo board. After the game, they then enter the 'Colour Zone' where they collect their powder colours.

Great fun was had by all last year, coaches and girls alike, and we are looking forward to repeating the event this year!
