SEG is delighted to be working with the Northern Districts Cricket Academy in support of Women's Cricket. Taryn Keir, Women's Coaching Coordinator at Northern Districts, is working with SEG staff to prepare development programs for young girls and women in the district who want to start playing cricket or who want to develop their abilities via a structured coaching program. We will be looking to launch a range of girls and women's programs early in 2006 so keep an eye on this site for developments.
