Cricket development programme reaches four new schools |10 April 2013

Physical education (PE) instructors Nathalie Didon and Emmanuel Larue with the help of SCA committee member Patrick Thomas and SCA chairman Jonathan Paul have been visiting the schools where they have held introduction to cricket courses with the pupils and PE teachers.

The SCA has also been donating equipment to the schools in order for them to be able to continue with cricket development within the schools.

Last year, the SCA introduced nearly 500 children to the game of cricket and held a schools tournament with at least 75 children taking part. This year it hopes to hold at least two tournaments with many more schools and children getting involved.

The cricket development programme in schools is being supported by the African Cricket Association (ACA) and the regional development manager for the International Cricket Council (ICC). This is being done through the donation of cricket equipment for the children and by administration and development grant from the ACA and ICC and is in line with the ICC Pepsi development programme.
