Get in the game with Girls Smash!
What is Girls Smash?
-
Girls Smash allows for girls 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 (games usually last around 45mins).
