Five years ago, for a few parents in Selwyn District, in Canterbury Country, one pain point was that there was no cricket coaching available in their area for girls once they entered high school. Till the age of 12, girls could play in mixed-teams, and thereafter if they wanted to continue pursuing the sport, they would have to travel to Christchurch, around 25 kms from Selwyn, and play for teams in the city. Not surprisingly, it was also a point when most girls would drop out of cricket in Selwyn.
