Women's Softball Festivals

Women’s Softball Festivals play a vital role in the growth of the game across Wales, providing flexible and accessible playing opportunities for both new and existing clubs. Designed to complement formal league cricket, these festivals offer additional fixtures in a relaxed, sociable environment where the emphasis is on participation, enjoyment and building confidence. For emerging clubs, festivals are often the first step into organised competition—allowing teams to develop at their own pace, attract new players and build a foundation before entering league structures. For established teams, they provide valuable extra match play, helping to retain players and offer opportunities for those new to the game or returning after time away. By bringing clubs together in a supportive and inclusive setting, Women’s Softball Festivals continue to be a key driver in expanding participation and strengthening the women’s cricket network across Wales.
