The SCCA Junior Girls Cricket League is aimed at girls aged 10 to 14 who are either new to cricket or have played Master Blaster.
The league is structured in a way that will allow girls to learn skills throughout the season, build confidence in a safe and inclusive environment, and to fall in love with the cricketing universe.
The league will be split into three learning phases with central festival days at the end of each phase. These festival days will provide an opportunity for players to learn more about the game, meet other players and have some fun celebrating cricket.
Between the festival days the ideal scenario is clubs playing within a geographical zone; North, Central and South.

Club Trainings (All trainings are open to any new player wanting to come and have a go and find out more information before registering)
Introduction Phase
Introduction to Stage 1 rules and getting use to wearing protective equipment. Everyone will get the chance to bat, bowl and field. Engagement will be supported using modified aids such as Master Blaster hitting tees and softer balls.
Coulour Blast Round
An opportunity to bring all teams together at the one location where we will play modified games, meet one another, and learn new skills – and of course the famous colour run (Nov 12th)!
The Tranistion Phase
This will provide an opportunity to introduce a harder plastic ball and embed new skills learnt from the super round. Modified aids such as tees are removed.
Christmas Festival
A festival day like Week 4 – this time with a Christmas theme!
Post-Christmas Phase
Fixtured games continue under Stage 1 rules including the use of the harder ball if appropriate.
Final Round & Presentation Day
The details of this will be worked out as the season progresses.
