What a great comment from one of our former Coaches (& a Little Wickets parent) in response to our 15th Birthday post on Linked In yesterday

"𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒆𝒓𝒔, 𝑳𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝑾𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒕𝒔 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑳𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝑾𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒕𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒑𝒆𝒅 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒆 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒊𝒆𝒓, 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒇𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆.

🏆 We’re thrilled to share some very special news…

Little Wickets founder Chloe Williams has won the EWIF New Woman Franchisor of the Year National Award 2026

This award recognises Chloe’s journey from starting Little Wickets in 2011 as a mum looking for fun, safe and inspiring cricket for young children, to building a values-led children’s cricket coaching franchise with strong foundations for future growth.

Rooted in the Spirit of Cricket — teamwork, honesty, resilience, respect and fair play — Little Wickets has always been about much more than batting, bowling and fielding.

It’s about helping children grow in confidence, creating opportunities for coaches, supporting families, working with schools and nurseries, and building stronger local communities through cricket.

This award is also a huge celebration of the whole Little Wickets team. Our coaches, operations team, franchise partners, families, venues, schools, nurseries and cricket club partners all help bring Little Wickets to life every week.

A huge thank you to EWIF & The BFA for championing women in franchising, to RevPR Ltd for sponsoring the award, and to everyone who has supported the Little Wickets journey so far.

We’re proud, grateful and excited for what comes next.

Here’s to fair play, fun and creating more team players for life. 💙💛🩷🏏
