GIRLS & WOMEN'S HUB

Our ambition is to build a girls cricket hub and we need more girls (and mums, sisters, aunts...) to join us!


​​​​​​​KCC is committed to growing the girls' game by providing opportunities for girls and women

  • to play at all levels
  • to develop their capability, on and off the field
  • to grow their love for cricket​​​​​​​


Background

To show our committment to growing cricket for girls and women, KJCC introduced a Girls Convenor role to our committee structure in 2021, to focus on providing support and advocating for girls' cricket. This role fosters positive relationships with our players, their families, other girls' teams in the region and Cricket Wellington. This role is active in the Cricket Wellington Women and Girls' Working Group which has facilitated stronger connections between teams and provided a forum to discuss and solve the challenges being faced. 

The role has evolved and is now called Women and Girls Convenor. With a newly refreshed Board which is chaired by Sally Morrison, the club aspires to provide opportunities for all girls and women to be part of a community built for and by them.


​​​​​​​Building a Girl's and Women's Cricket Community

Our goal is to provide a place of belonging where girls and woemn can thrive and develop into confident leaders, on and off the field.

  • Building belonging
  • High performance and year-round engagement
  • Technical skill development
  • Soft ball cricket development
  • Leadership and principles: Our community will be guided by principles such as whānaungatanga, manaakitanga, and placing the needs of girls and women at the center of decision-making. We will emphasize fun, friendships, happiness, and building confidence in self and community. Our commitment to Te Ao Māori and the Treaty of Waitangi will be integral to our operations.


Advocating for Women and Girls 

KCC works in partnership with Cricket Wellington to support initiatives such as YEAH! Girls - a social, fun, free, inclusive way to give cricket a go. We partner with local clubs to share opportunities with our girls' community. If you have an event, training or initiative in mind, we'd love to hear about and get our girls involved.
