What is Girls Smash?

What to expect?

A FUN & SOCIAL FORMAT FOR GIRLS TO GIVE CRICKET A GO...

  • Girls Smash allows for girls in Years 3-8 who are new to the game, and those existing cricketers, to enjoy cricket in a low-pressure & inclusive setting.
  • ‘Game Leaders’ help to facilitate an environment of fun & learning through their ongoing encouragement & game management – the odd tip makes life easy for all players involved.
  • Music is blasting through the speakers, t-shirts & playing equipment are provided, and most importantly – the cricket balls are soft, and easy to hit out of the park!
  • Teams play a six-aside, pairs cricket format – allowing for all players to receive equal opportunity 
  • The best part - games take no longer than 40 minutes, leaving plenty of time for other activities!
