NEW GIRLS OFFERING
Y2-4 Girls Smash
We want to make sure that every girl who wants to play cricket can, so this season, Cricket Wellington is trialling a Girls Only option for our youngest female players.
Girls Smash is a fun and inclusive way for girls to learn the basics of cricket in a low-pressure environment. There are many girls who are happy playing in the Saturday Mixed soft ball grades with boys, but we know there are other girls who would prefer to play in a girls’ only environment.
Teams will have six players and the playing format will be similar to the NZC Girls Smash programme.
Note - All girls' soft ball will run on Sundays at 10am

GIRLS SOFT BALL
Y5-8
The Girls Soft Ball grade is for girls in school years 5 to 8. The competition plays on Sundays. The format is pairs cricket and games take approximately 90 minutes.
This competition plays on Sundays so girls can choose to play Saturday morning (mixed) cricket as well.

GIRLS HARD BALL
Y6-11
For 2024-25 season, Girls Hard Ball will be offered in two grades: Girls Hard Ball and Premier Girls Hard Ball. These changes reflect the wider range of ages and abilities of players, so forming two grades ensures there is a pathway for girls to enter hard ball cricket both as a new to cricket player, or as a player who has experience in the soft ball grades.
These grades are played on Saturday afternoons (generally from 2.00pm).
The key features of each grade are outlined below:
Premier Girls Hardball (Y7-11)
Girls Hardball (from Y6)
This competition plays on Saturday afternoons so girls can choose to play Saturday morning (mixed) cricket as well.
