The Falkland girls junior section was started in 2016 by Neil Rider the former England Women’s Manager and Coach. Since its inception it has grown to become the largest girl’s cricket club in Berkshire and currently has over 85 junior playing members.
All girls are welcome to attend in the summer season where there are regular training sessions on a Friday evening. High quality coaching is still led by Neil, the coaching team and an army of volunteers that make the club work.
The club also run a competitive playing programme for girls teams at U9 all the way up to U19.
Over the last 6 years there has been lots of success for the Falkland teams both on and off the field, with some impressive team results in 2021 with the U13 and U15 teams reaching the last 16 in the Country.
The club also has a thorough coaching programme which has seen over 30 girls go on and represent Berkshire with 2 also making it in to the Southern Vipers Academy.
Falkland is a fun, vibrant and friendly club and open to all girls of all abilities from Year 4 and upwards.
If you would like to come along for a free taster session or would like to join then please contact Tim Colby, Junior Girls Coordinator - falklandjuniorcoach@gmail.com
With warm regards
