When we announced our plans to develop a Women and Girls’ team we had a number of partners in mind and without doubt the UK’s only female specific brand, NEXX Cricket (@nexxcricket), were pencilled in to open for us, so we could not be happier that they are partnering with us to help introduce more girls and women to cricket and ensure that they do so with premium equipment designed specifically for them.
Their passion for developing the girls and womens game is evident in all that they do and they have some great ideas that we hope to develop with them. It goes with saying (but I am doing) the quality of their products are superb as you will see from the testimonials on their site.
Now this is not a long read so you wont need a coffee, but if you did we would obviously be delighted if you bought some Whakapapa Wake Up as this generates funds for this initiative as well as being an excellent coffee.
The key elements of the agreement are:
- NEXX will be the main sponsor of the Team Playing Tops which we will be provided by Lacuna Sports.
- NEXX will provide the team ‘kit bag’ consisting of Bats, Gloves and Pads.
- NEXX will provide a NBCC discount code for their online store.
- Together we will develop a Club Kit Bag which will give Cricket Clubs high quality, girls and women specific kit and equipment and competitive prices.
Also on the list of things we are looking at: Summer Schools, Winter Coaching, a Festival of Cricket Week, and Mentoring.
We will announce more in due course, for now maybe that coffee is not a bad idea.
