We’re an award-winning community engagement program that uses team sport to create opportunity and belonging for vulnerable girls & their families.
FRIENDSHIPS & CONFIDENCE
Through teamwork, girls build lasting friendships, develop confidence, trust and gain a sense of belonging. This reduces social isolation and fosters healthy relationships.
IMPROVED SCHOOL ENGAGEMENT
Our program helps reduce truancy and supports girls in re-engaging with school by strengthening relationships with teachers, peers and family. Family involvement deepens community connections, creating a strong support system beyond the program.
LIFE SKILLS & OPPORTUNITY
Our program helps girls build essential life skills and positive, healthy habits. The result? Leadership, responsibility and a sense of purpose that can create life-long opportunities.
To provide relief to all teenage girls across WA at risk and in need.
Team Connect’s outreach program is available exclusively to young females at risk and in need. It uses cricket to assist in the provision of benevolent relief. Cricket was chosen as the vehicle to provide relief.
Our award-winning program has been improving wellbeing through sport since 2018. Take a look below at the impact we’ve had.

Our Student Services department feel very grateful that Team Connect selected our school to partner with. We have never been involved with a program like this.
For the participants, we have seen improved relationships with staff and increased engagement with school due to a greater sense of belonging.
I had no idea that playing cricket could have such a positive effect on the girls involved in the program. It has been wonderful to see their level of commitment and engagement improve as they built stronger relationships with each other.
