Women and Girls Cricket
Breaking Barriers,
Building Futures
Our Women and Girls’ Strategy is built on four pillars — to grow the game, develop its people, sustain its communities, and make sure everyone enjoys every moment.
These pillars aims to create a clear pathway from our schools to grassroots clubs encouraging more women and girls in our community to take up our sport.
Growing our Game
Opening the door — and making sure nothing blocks the way in
Cricket has always been for everyone — but for too long, it hasn’t always felt that way. This pillar is our commitment to change that, one community at a time. Growing is about opening the door wide and making absolutely certain that nothing — not the cost of kit, not the distance to the ground, not the worry of not knowing anyone — is standing in the way of a girl or woman who wants to give cricket a go.
Developing our Game
A journey with a shape — from first session to future leader.
Getting started is just the beginning. Once a girl has caught the bug, or a woman has rediscovered what it feels like to move and compete and belong, what happens next matters just as much as the first session. Developing is about building a genuine journey — one that moves at the right pace, respects where each person is, and opens doors they might not even have imagined yet.
Sustaining our Game
Standing alongside you — for the long haul, not just the first summer.
Bringing someone into cricket is a start. Keeping them there — through busy seasons, through the teenage years, through the moments when doubt creeps in or life gets complicated — that’s the harder work. And it’s the work we’re most committed to. Sustaining is the Foundation’s promise to stand alongside every girl and woman who becomes part of this community, for as long as they want to be here.
Enjoying our Game
Cricket as a community — come for the game, stay for everything else.
Not everything needs to be competitive. Not every session needs to feel like training. Sometimes cricket is simply a brilliant excuse to get outside, move your body, laugh with people you like, and feel genuinely good. Enjoying is the heartbeat of everything we’re building — a reminder that sport is supposed to be fun, and that for women and girls in Bridlington, cricket can be a social home just as much as it is a game.
