GLASSHOUSE Cricket Club has launched a new program ensuring that girls are offered a strong pathway in the sport.
The program involved pairing Junior Blasters girls’ players with Master Blasters women players.
“Our aim is to equip young girls with the skills they need to succeed in both in-game and as part of a team… which will deliver personal and professional benefits to both the mentor and mentee,” Club president, Jeremy Schultz, said.
The program focuses on learning basic skills in a fun and positive environment.
Jeremy said it was a pleasure to see how quickly the girls were picking up the skills.
“There’s a young girl who just started in the women’s program in the last couple of weeks and I saw her playing on Sunday,” he said.
“… she’s just so happy to be involved in the program and it’s so nice to watch that progression after only a few weeks.”
“Having programs like this really does break that ice and gets girls playing cricket instead of playing traditional girl sports.”
