Women’s Softball Cricket Festivals are back for 2023!

“Our festivals are fun and friendly!”

If you’re one of the teams that have already dipped your toes in the water.... welcome back! If you’re thinking about coming along for the first time.... what are you waiting for?

Everyone is welcome, mums, aunties, daughters, sisters, wives and girlfriends! Jump in! It doesn’t matter if you’re completely new to cricket or have experienced it before!

Softball cricket is about getting out and playing: maximum fun, minimum fuss! No pads, no hardball, no heavy bat, no head-scratching rules. It’s a game for absolutely everybody, no matter your skill level, fitness or age.

Women’s softball cricket in Staffordshire is thriving, with almost 40 teams participating in one of our festivals last summer. Many of our participants are Mum’s or family members of young cricketers who have spent many hours watching from the sidelines- once they’ve had a go, they never look back!

If your club haven’t entered a team before, it’s a great way to start a Women or Girls’ section at your club!

So why not sign up to your local festivals and make a day of it? All your club needs is 8 players to form a team. You can enter more than one team if you like!

All you have to do is find the festivals your team want to attend and register your team by emailing Claire Bailey (c.bailey@staffordshirecricket.co.uk).

Not sure where to start?

We can offer support to your club to get started.
