The Girls Only Hub program for 5-10-year-olds is set to begin on February 10, offering young girls an exciting opportunity to explore cricket in a welcoming and inclusive environment. Led by female coaches, the program focuses on building confidence, skills, and a love for the sport in a space designed just for girls.
Great Barrier Reef Arena Sports Development Officer Mel Dwyer highlighted the importance of such initiatives, stating, “The girls-only program is a great opportunity for girls to come and experience cricket in a safe and inclusive environment.
“They can feel comfortable and confident without the pressures that sometimes arise in co-ed settings. It ensures that girls have a space where they can thrive and enjoy the sport.
Ms Dwyer also noted the participants' enthusiasm, saying, “The girls love being coached by older juniors who play in our local comps.
“Nothing is off limits; dancing, cartwheels and lots of other fun things are added into the skill-based sessions. Girls rock up with the biggest smiles, wanting to tell me about doing their bowling homework, suggesting a warm-up activity and telling me how much they love cricket.”
Junior cricket has already kicked off, with Stage 1, 2, and 3 teams back in action from January 18. The race to the semi-finals on February 15 is heating up, with teams vying for spots. Masters Blasters also resumed on January 22, alongside the GBR Rays Blaster Hub Program, which continues for boys and girls on Wednesdays from 4:30 to 5:30pm.
