I have been playing cricket since I was 5 years old and have played cricket all around New Zealand for various teams. My last coaching job was in Northern Ireland where I coached junior rugby and cricket for two years.
I come from a big family with 4 sisters and loved being able to watch them succeed and enjoy all the sports they had a go at! I hope to see the same success and enjoyment out of all the young people that I come across in my time coaching!

Abby Carr
Hey! I'm Abby from Wellington.
Cricket can be mistaken as boring but the Yeah! Girls sessions we run are always fun games! I love seeing girls make new friends and feel welcome.
I'm a current player myself. I play for the Premier women's side in my club. Cricket has really connected me with many new friends of all ages.
I love my creative side. I find a lot of enjoyment in bringing it out in my artwork. I think my creative side really comes out when making these cricket games so fun.
