Play Female Cricket

Girls & Women’s Cricket in Cricket Latrobe Valley

Cricket is no longer just the game you watch on TV — it’s a game for everyone, and right now, girls’ and women’s cricket is one of the fastest-growing parts of our sport. At Cricket Latrobe Valley (CLV), we’re proud to lead the way in making cricket fun, welcoming, and accessible for all.

Why Give Cricket a Go?

• It’s fun – smashing boundaries, taking catches, or just having a laugh with your teammates.
• It’s flexible – whether you’re new to the game or already love cricket, there’s a format for you.
• It’s social – cricket is the perfect mix of competition and connection.
• It’s for all ages – juniors, teens, and adults can all find their place on the pitch.

What Female Cricket Looks Like at CLV

Most clubs in our league are already involved in women’s and girls’ cricket at some level — from junior programs through to senior women’s competitions. That means no matter where you are in the Valley, there’s a local club ready to welcome you.

You don’t need to have played before. Many of our players picked up a bat or ball for the very first time at training, and discovered a whole new community waiting for them. Clubs provide plenty of support (and often the gear too), so you can just come along and give it a try.

Be Part of Something Bigger

Cricket Latrobe Valley is more than just matches. We’re building opportunities for women and girls to:

• Play in fun, inclusive competitions.
• Represent their clubs and the Valley at higher levels.
• Join events like Pink Stumps Day that celebrate women in sport and support important causes.
• Make lifelong friends along the way.

With so many clubs involved, there’s never been a better time to join the game. Cricket Latrobe Valley is ready to welcome you – so why not give it a go this season?
