About the team
If you are looking for the opportunity to play cricket and have fun, then we are the team for you. We welcome new players and focus on softball cricket so we can develop our cricket skills without having to worry about cumbersome helmets and other protection. Even if you have no cricket experience you can come along and learn the game with us.
We are a friendly bunch and we train on Friday evenings (weather permitting) on the Mitcham Cricket Green from 6-7pm. We participate in indoor nets over the winter, and begin regular outdoor training from mid-April (weather permitting). This year, winter nets will be held every Sunday in March from 11:30am-12:30pm. Regular season training begins Friday, 17th April and will run through towards the end of September.
We took part in the Surrey Smash It League in 2024 and 2025, which consisted of a mix of individual matches and one-day festivals against local Clubs. For the 2026 season, we'll be competing in the Surrey Cricket Championship - Women's Softball Tier 2 North, with league fixtures from late Spring through mid-Summer and occasional friendly matches in addition to these.
We also rely on volunteer umpires and scorers, so if you'd like to get involved but not necessarily play every match, please consider coming along as a volunteer!
Please enquire regarding free trial sessions, if you're thinking of giving cricket a try for the first time. You'd be very welcome!
We have negotiated a reduced playing membership for members of the Ladies squad - £50. If you are interested you can contact Sapphires Captain, Kelli Wolfe at sapphires@mitchamcricketclub.org or 07775 735 928.
