Girls’ Cricket is one of the fastest growing games in schools.  The majority of schools have now adopted it, often as the primary game of the summer term.  More teachers are being required to teach, coach and umpire the game than ever before.  This is a course for those people – men and women – who are developing inexperienced cricketers, through the soft ball game.  Lydia Greenway’s ‘Cricket for Girls’ programme is the longest established course for inexperienced coaches in schools.  It requires no previous knowledge of the game, and will introduce all skills, game types and relevant rules to enable teachers to deliver exciting, fast moving sessions and prepare their players for school matches.
