2026 Girls Skills Development Programme

Hampshire Cricket Board is delighted to launch the 2026 Girls’ Skills Development Programme, a non-selective initiative aimed at U11 and U13 girls who want to build confidence, develop their cricketing skills, and make the exciting transition from softball to hardball cricket.

This inclusive programme provides high-quality coaching in a fun and supportive environment, helping players strengthen their abilities and love for the game.

What to Expect

• Hardball Skill Development
  Players will receive expert coaching in batting, bowling, fielding, and wicket-keeping, all tailored to support their progression into hardball cricket.
• Confidence Building
  Sessions are designed to develop resilience, improve confidence, and help players feel comfortable with hardball cricket.
• Supportive Environment
  Each venue offers a welcoming and positive atmosphere where every girl is encouraged to learn, grow, and enjoy the game at her own pace.
