​
Membership
Junior Girl members at Edgworth can play and train in both junior-mixed groups and/or within the girls’-only teams and sessions. Guidance recognises the fact that girls may transfer from soft to hard ball at different rates and that continuity of playing and training experience may be inconsistent. At the higher performance levels, some girls thrive best with access to both forms of the game – playing in a girls’ team in addition to mixed juniors. Likewise, at the earlier development and basic stages; playing within a mixed junior system allows girls to drop down a year to gain confidence and match experience where this may be helpful.
