She goes to Loughborough for a couple of squad games in July. There's 24 kids in the development programme and I think that there's usually a touring team over here later in the Summer, the best 15 or so from the programme will make the main squad up for the summer and then there's an overseas tour in the Winter.
Just hope she makes a good enough impression to get involved in the two main series.
Think that there's teams at Chester le Street, Shotley, Norton, Brandon, Willington. The county have squads at u13, u15, u17 levels. Just give the cricket board a bell and see if she can go along to one of the u13 nets. They are always keen to get kids involved and obviously there's nowhere near the competition there is for the lads squads, although there are loads more lasses involved now than there was when my daughter first started playing at Phili.
