We have a team of coaches available to work with our girls – led by Olivia Thomas (Yorks / Lancs Thunder) and Danielle Collins (Lancs Thunder), in addition to other coaches from within and beyond the club.
Coaching covers all standards, including Basic Skills (our equivalent to the Dynamos programme) and beginners of all ages are welcome. Involvement and integration within the wider junior and senior sections ensures players have access to a variety of opportunities to suit all levels and experience / interest.
We are a friendly and vibrant club, set in the heart of the village and with great facilities.

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.
Girl players from other clubs are welcomed to play in the girls’ teams at Edgworth whilst retaining membership at the own club for junior mixed. A dual membership option exists for this purpose
