The Warwickshire Cricket Board (WCB) are looking to start up an new women’s indoor cricket league this Autumn. We have confirmed a date for a taster session where women and girls (13+), individuals and/or teams, of all abilities are welcomed! The session will see female players from the National League and British Open (two of the national competitions currently run in England) come together with new players to run a variety of skills, drills and games to introduce them to the game. The indoor players will share their experience and knowledge with participants on the day and hopefully inspire them to take up the sport and join the upcoming leagues.
- Women’s Taster Session
- Date: Saturday 26th September 2015
- Time: 10:30am
- Venue: Action Indoor Sports - Birmingham, Marsh Hill, Erdington, B23 7EY

In Australia they have over 160,000 people playing this format of the game and it come as no surprise that they dominate in all age groups; boys, girls, men’s and women’s. We are working with Action Indoor Sports to try and grow the game in Warwickshire. There are already teams playing in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, London and Bristol but we are hoping to see this expand around the Country. The introduction of Action Indoor Sports - Birmingham, in September 2014 saw a number of men’s teams from around Warwickshire enter. The Birmingham centre is now looking to increase the number of leagues available in Warwickshire this winter but would love to see both the men’s and women’s game take off. If you would like an activity to keep you fit during the winter this could be the perfect one for you. You don’t need to have played cricket before, this game caters for players of all abilities from total beginner to professional cricketers. It provides a great opportunity to get fit with your friends in a fast, fun environment. You are guaranteed involvement!! If you would like to get involved please come along to the above taster session and give it a go. For more information about this, or if you have any questions, please get in touch with Laura Crofts at the WCB ([email protected]) or Anish Patel at Action Indoor Sports ([email protected]). Look forward to hearing from you!!
