In Derbyshire, we strive to make cricket 'A Game For Everyone' and Women and Girls Cricket is leading the way.
The 2025 season has been a landmark year for the development of girls' cricket across Derbyshire, with a significant increase in both participation and enthusiasm at all age groups. At Derbyshire, we are proud to reflect on a season full of progress, energy, and promising talent, thanks to the commitment of clubs, volunteers, coaches, and of course, the players themselves.

In 2025, we successfully delivered 12 girls-only Dynamos Cricket Festivals, spread across a wide range of clubs and community hubs. These events provide a fun, safe, and inclusive environment for girls aged 8-11 to experience cricket - many for the very first time.
These festivals have become a cornerstone for our entry-level offer and continue to play a key role in increasing the visibility and appeal of the women and girls' game in Derbyshire.
Now in its third year, the U12 Girls' Incrediball Competition once again provided a popular, accessible stepping stone between softball and hardball formats.
The competition was slightly altered this year, with a set night of the week for girls' cricket (Tuesdays), allowing for a more consistent schedule. The U12 league continues to deliver consistent development opportunities for young players.
This season saw the successful launch of the U14 Girls' Hard Ball League - a brand new competitive structure designed to meet the needs of a growing number of players ready to step up to the next level.
This new league filled a key gap in our player pathway, helping to retain girls in the game by offering meaningful, age-appropriate competition. The early signs are incredibly promising, with strong club buy-in and player enthusiasm.

To maintain engagement for older girls and offer flexible playing opportunities, we ran three U16 individual sign-up festivals during the season.
These festivals were particularly well received, with players enjoying the relaxed but competitive format. It ensured continued access to the game at a time when many girls can drop out of sport.

We are committed to continuing this upward trajectory into 2026 and beyond, with plans to expand the U12 and U14 leagues, introduce more all-girls club teams, and provide additional coaching and leadership opportunities for young female players.
Our sincere thanks go out to the clubs, coaches, volunteers, parents, and players who made this season such a success. The future of girls' cricket in Derbyshire is bright- this is only the beginning.
