Bournemouth Cricket is leading the way locally by offering the highest level of Cricket in Dorset and offering something for everyone.  

Our Colts section is growing due to the coaching and enjoyment that we offer every session and matches to suit all levels.  We are in the process of offering taster sessions in schools and in conjunction with the Dorset Cricket Board, we are trying to invest in a Regeneration area of Bournemouth by providing coaching in the community.

Our Ladies Softball section is expanding at a good rate and the coaching has been expanded to cover this section.  Initially set up as a small group of ladies only a couple of years ago, it has now expanded to over 20 lady members and often entering 2 teams in local Cricket Board competitions, with a few ladies playing hardball cricket.
