We have a great membership offer to encourage year 7 and 8 girls to take up the game

Girls cricket at Leatherhead has been growing for the last few seasons with the girls joining in mixed training sessions and matches with the boys from age 5 upwards. This season we are delighted to report that our girls membership is now large enough for us to enter a girls team in the U13 softball SJCC Smash IT league. We are also very pleased to say that CGI, the multinational IT consulting and systems integration company and a big employer in Leatherhead, have agreed to sponsor this team and have funded new coloured kit, which has been designed by two of the players!

We really want to develop this team and to encourage girls to take up the game of cricket so we are now offering a special membership for girls in school years 7 and 8 who are keen to get involved. Firstly, we recognise that cricket is new to many girls and so we are offering a “try before you buy” option, where you can attend 2 free trial sessions at the club on Wednesday evenings (18.30-20.00) before deciding to join the club. If you do then decide to join, the membership fee for 2021 will be £105 for the season, which is much less than the normal £165 junior membership fee. This fee includes:

• Training every Wednesday evening from early April until the end of July (17 sessions in total)
• 5 Sunday Smash IT softball match days (mid May to Mid July)
• Free CGI sponsored coloured kit
• Social membership for parents

We’d love to hear from you if you are interested in joining this growing part of our club or just want to find out more. Please contact our membership secretary, Jim Greig, at leatherheadccmembers@gmail.com for more information.
