SUMMER CAMP
SATURDAY MORNING LEAGUE
Kanga or softball cricket is the ideal way to introduce your child to the basic skills of cricket. The modified program works on the effective method of introducing and practicing a skill then following it with a game. This method has proved both a learning and enjoyable environment for all our budding young cricketers in both our junior program and our summer camps. The program also offers regulation hardball cricket geared towards those who possess past experience in the game. The rotational program will see participants take part in a number of cricket sessions under the guidance of professional coaches and players. Training sessions, including batting and bowling provide a great opportunity to learn and improve and modified games are regular features. Cricket can be played by both boys and girls and we welcome kids of all abilities and skills levels.
