When you think of the Darebin Falcons, footy, soccer, and eight ball might spring to mind first. But here’s something that might surprise you – we’ve got a thriving Women & Girls cricket program that’s ready to welcome players of all ages and abilities!
Cricket for everyone
Whether you’re a seasoned player looking to get back into the game or someone who’s never held a cricket bat, the Darebin Falcons Women & Girls cricket program has something for you. We’re actively looking for women, girls, and gender diverse people to join our welcoming teams across multiple age groups.
- Our Senior Women’s team is always looking for new talent and team spirit.
- We run teams for Under 10s, Under 12s, Under 14s, and Under 16s – perfect for developing skills and building lifelong friendships.
- Our Under 10s Cricket Blast Program is where the magic happens! These short, fast-paced games put the focus squarely on participation and fun. No pressure, no experience necessary – just pure cricket joy.
Why choose cricket at Darebin Falcons?
Cricket isn’t just about technique and competition (though we love both!). It’s about:
- Making genuine connections – there’s something special about the friendships forged on the cricket pitch
- Building confidence – whether you’re facing your first ball or captaining a team
- Having a blast – our programs prioritize fun above all else
- Learning life skills – teamwork, strategy, and sportsmanship come naturally through cricket
The beauty of our cricket program lies in its inclusivity. Never picked up a cricket bat? Perfect! Been playing since you could walk? Even better! Our welcoming community ensures everyone finds their place in the team.
