The U18 tournament, that runs until Friday, features teams from the Central Districts region including Taranaki, Whanganui, Nelson, Wairarapa, Manawatu and Hawke's Bay.
"I ran an under-15 tournament in Palmerston North two weeks ago and that was my first. Tournaments like these are ideal platforms to promote the game and help the girls develop.
"That's what I enjoy - seeing the girls growing their cricket skills and knowledge of the game.
"I will be working with Manawatu women's cricket as well as my Central Districts duties, but the job will also involve liaising with district development officers throughout the CD patch," Driescher said.
Next week event is the under-15 girls' development tournament, which will feature teams from all six first-class regions; Auckland, Northern Districts, Wellington, Central Districts, Canterbury and Otago.
Auckland are the defending champions after convincingly beating Central Districts last season.
