Cricket is a fun and challenging team game, growing in popularity all around the world; even
China is now taking part in international competitions at junior level!
It is based on a number of basic coordination skills used in many sports, such as throwing,
catching and striking a ball. Fair play and teamwork is also a particularly strong feature of the
game.
Our cricket program is designed to teach these basic skills, while gradually introducing
the rules, strategies and techniques of the game.
