Our Story
Western Force Cricket Club (WFCC) was founded to reclaim cricket as a sport for everyone. We champion LGBTQIA+ inclusion, reduce barriers for beginners, and create a fun, supportive environment that celebrates diversity and community in Bath & Bristol and the wider South West.
Our Values
- Inclusion & Respect: We welcome all identities, abilities, ages, and backgrounds.
- Community & Care: Sport is connection—WFCC is a safe space to belong.
- Joy & Play: Soft ball, low-pressure sessions—learn, laugh, and enjoy the game.
- Safeguarding First: We follow ECB safeguarding policies and promote positive mental health.
