In bouncing around a few Canadian websites in the last couple of days, I came across a few opportunities for women and girls to play cricket and to try to learn about cricket. One of two of these opportunities have already appeared on Canada Cricket Online, thanks to the awareness of the web master. <\/p>\n
This past weekend\u2019s men\u2019s Western T20 in Edmonton, Alberta brought to light an item on the Edmonton and District Cricket League\u2019s website about the local women\u2019s cricket program. There is also an opportunity coming up for those in the Calgary area to participate in Glenmore Cricket club\u2019s “biggest and best Pee-Wee cricket program”.
\n
\nThe Edmonton District Cricket League (EDCL) website outlines the local women’s cricket program, which also interfaces with the activities of the Alberta School Cricket Association\u2019s junior cricket progams. The following was first posted on the EDCL website on March 25, 2014:
\n“The EDCL women\u2019s cricket program is actively recruiting women who wish to
\nlearn the skills of the game. This year we are looking forward to games with
\nCalgary, West Vancouver, Chiliwack, and the Wicket Maidens in Victoria. We
\nwill also have more games with Alberta School Cricket Association (ASCA)
\nJuniors. Everyone from beginners to those with experience of the game are
\nwelcome to attend indoor nets in March and April. Our outdoor practice
\nschedule will be at Coronation Park starting in May.”<\/p>\n
So enthusiasts – and their baseball, basketball, (ice) hockey and football playing friends – could check out the EDCL\u2019s website and contacts to discover more about the local cricketing development programs. The Calgary & District Cricket League website brings news about the “Glenmore Pee-Wee Program”, an item that has been on the website since May 12, 2014.
\nSome contact information and a link to the Glenmore club\u2019s website are provided via the Calgary & District Cricket League\u2019s website. The following gives some of the basic background about Glenmore\u2019s current program for youngsters:<\/p>\n
