With training due to start next week, coach Jarrod Milsom said early numbers were looking good.
"We already have about eight or nine girls definitely interested and it is slowly starting to pick up," he said.
"There will likely be a few more now that the netball and football seasons are slowing down, so I'm pretty confident we will get 12-14 regular players."
Girls aged 17 and under can join the team, which will play on Saturday mornings.
Training is at the Dower Park nets on Wednesdays from 4pm-5.30pm, starting on September 10.
Kangaroo Flat previously had a girls’ cricket team, but not in recent seasons.
