Club Toolkit
What is Club Toolkit?
Club Toolkit is a friendly resource designed for clubs to create a more welcoming environment for women and girls. the toolkit outlines what facilities are needed to be considered a female friendly cricket club, and offers guidance on how to plan for, and obtain those facilities and upgrades.
Providing dedicated female changing rooms, clean and accessible toilets, and safe social spaces is what makes a Cricket Club a safe, comfortable, and respected place for women and girls to participate in cricket. Creating a welcoming space matters as much as the game itself.
