Join us for an evening designed to support new volunteers in learning the basics of cricket. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We are hosting four volunteer development evenings to prepare volunteers for the upcoming season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the evening we will cover the fundamentals of softball cricket, including how to score using Play Cricket and how to umpire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This initiative is part of the Metro Bank Girls in Cricket Fund, following Metro Bank’s commitment as the first-ever Champion of Women\u2019s and Girls\u2019 Cricket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sessions are ideal for anyone looking to take their first steps into coaching or volunteering with a club that has a girls\u2019 section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gabby Basketter, Women’s and Girl’s Club Development Officer, said: “After the success of running our volunteer evenings in 2024, we are doubling these to help support the growth of our women’s and girl’s sections in Warwickshire and Birmingham.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Sessions are open for those of any gender to attend looking to support women’s and girl’s cricket.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
