WOMEN'S SOFTBALL CRICKET FESTIVALS are back for 2026, sponsored by Emprise Teamwear!
Our festivals are all about fun, friends, and family.
So, if you’re one of the hundreds of players who’ve already dipped their toes in the water, welcome back, and if you’re thinking about coming along for the first time…what are you waiting for? Everyone is welcome, mum’s, aunties, daughters, sisters, wife’s and girlfriends! Jump in! It doesn’t matter if you’re completely new to cricket or have experienced it before.
Soft Ball Cricket is about getting out and playing: maximum fun, minimum fuss. No pads, no hard ball, no heavy bat. It’s a game for absolutely everybody, no matter your skill level, fitness, or age. Playing time at Festivals is usually about two to four hours, so it never gets boring.
If your club haven’t entered a team before, it’s a great way to start a Women’s or Girls section at your club!
So why not sign up to your local festivals and make a day of it? All your club needs is 8 players to form a team. You can enter more than one team if you like.
All you have to do is find the festivals your team wants to attend and register your team.
This year we have a record 30 festivals for you and your team to choose from!
