Yorkshire Cricket Board

Tickhill CC's women's section was founded in 2019 and has been a huge success in creating diversity and inclusion for all at the club.

Since the women's team was formed, the ladies have worked hard to ensure they continue to move forward in their vision of cricket being available for all. The W&Gs now have 5 Foundation Level coaches and lead their clubs All Stars and Dynamos programmes, as well as venturing in to a new age range for cricketers: Tickhill Tots Cricket!

Nicola Saunders of Tickhill CC's W&G section said:

"We noted last year that there were lots of toddlers (walkers to All Stars age) wanting to join in and due to safeguarding we were unable to include them."

Tickhill Tots Cricket will be launched on the 8th May running bi weekly on Saturday mornings.

"The aim is to ‘catch them young’ and start the cricket journey with soft play an FUN activities. Each child will be issued with a Tickhill Tots T-Shirt and a foam bat and ball."

Lots of fun activities are ahead for these little tots including throwing, catching, running, laughing, singing and chasing bubbles. With all the equipment that ladies of Tickhill will using being soft and safe for a little Tot! I bet they can't wait!
