What is the Program?

Daughters and Dads Cricket is a 9 week program connecting daughters and dads (including Father figures) as they learn about cricket.

The first session is a dads-only education session covering all key content, including information on the unique and powerful influence of fathers, engaging, and coaching their daughters in cricket and positive parenting strategies. Dads also learn about the culture of gender prejudice ‘pinkification’ that exists in many aspects of their daughters’ lives and how they can become gender equity advocates and improve their daughters’ confidence to play. Daughters and dads (including Father Figures) then attend 8 x 90 minute weekly themed sessions, which are made up of 30 minutes of education and 60 minutes of practical activity.

Education sessions focus on developing daughters’ understanding of cricket, building daughters’ key social and emotional skills such as, resilience, persistence, self-control and bravery, and enhancing the father-daughter bond.
The practical sessions focus on three key areas - rough and tumble fielding, batting and bowling skill development, and modified cricket games. The home program provides further opportunities to reinforce content and practice cricket skills at home
