Under 15
Hard-ball cricket is the only provision available for the Under 15 age group. The innovative 9-a-side, 16 overs per inning format inspires and enthuses young people to stay in the game at their clubs.
Clubs in Gloucestershire, wearing coloured kit, playing music and smashing a pink ball around has made a huge impact and is helping to:
- Retain young players within the game by providing them with additional opportunities to play with friends
- Encourage more girls to transition from youth to adult cricket
- Create exciting match day experiences
- Create volunteering opportunities for young players within the club
