BUCS LUSL HIIT Cricket

In partnership with Surrey Cricket the London University Sports League want to help grow women's cricket at university level by creating more entry level playing opportunities. Grab 10 players and head down to the Oval to try out the new HIIT cricket program!

What is HIIT Cricket?

HIIT Cricket is a new female specific programme for beginners and developing players at university level.

The game takes softball format, that incorporates some rules from the Hundred competition and some from indoor cricket, so it really is like nothing else. The aim is for it to be a social, fun environment, where people can come along try cricket out and get some exercise.

LUSL will be running the very first HIIT cricket festival at the Oval open for all London University Students.
