New to Cricket · Ages 6–12
Girls Come and Try Cricket
A free, fun introduction to cricket for girls. No experience or equipment needed, just come along and give it a try.
Get Started
Missed the Day? You Can Still Join In
Our 2026 Come and Try day was held in August and has now passed. If your daughter missed it, that is absolutely fine. You do not have to wait until next year to get started.
Just get in touch and we will find a way for her to try cricket with us:
- Come along to a training session. We can arrange for her to join one of our Wednesday sessions and see what it is like, with no commitment.
- Join a beginners team. We can place her in a team suited to players who are just starting out.
- You do not need a group. Individual players are very welcome. Sign up on your own and we will find her a place in a team.
What It's Like
A Fun First Taste of Cricket
Whether it is a Come and Try day or her first training session, this is what a beginner session looks like.
Games & Team Activities
Fun, social activities designed to introduce cricket alongside other girls from the local area.
Try the Gear
Put on pads, gloves and a helmet, and grab a bat to see what it feels like out in the middle. All equipment is provided.
Friendly & Beginner-Focused
A relaxed, supportive environment with no pressure. It's all about giving it a go and having fun.
Led by a Former Australian Player
Our Girls Head Coach is Michelle Goszko, a former Australian player and passionate advocate for developing girls' cricket.
Beyond Come and Try
Girls Cricket at North Sydney
We have a place for every age, from a first go with a plastic bat right through to weekend team cricket. Where she starts depends on how old she is:
- Cricket Blast, from 5 years. The gentlest introduction. Modified games in a fun, social setting, with all equipment supplied and parents joining in.
- Blaster Competition, U7–U8. The next step up, still modified and firmly beginner-focused.
- Mixed teams, U9–U11. Girls are very welcome in our mixed teams, which is where most girls play before the dedicated girls teams start.
- Girls teams, U11 and above. Dedicated girls teams across Stage 1, 2 and 3, training together at Bon Andrews (North Sydney Oval No. 2) on Wednesday afternoons from 4:00pm.
Not sure which is right? Get in touch and we will help you work it out.
