BCB To Hold Winter Half-Term Cricket Camp
The Bermuda Cricket Board [BCB] is getting set to hold a Winter Half-Term Cricket Camp for girls and boys age 7-13 during the February half term break, running from February 16-20, 2015.
The BCB is once again offering this camp at a financially subsidised rate of $120 for the week, available via the Clinic’s registration form [PDF here].
A spokesperson said, “The BCB Winter Cricket Clinic is based at West Pembroke School Gym and will run from 8.30am to 5.30pm. The main purpose of the winter camp is to teach the skills of cricket while enriching the lives of all of Bermuda’s children by keeping them active over the break playing a sport they love.
“The camp incorporates skill building activities and games to incorporate the skills they learned in practice. Each day the camp focuses on a character building skill such as ‘respect’ or ‘fairness’ for example and players are encouraged to incorporate these skills into daily activities.”
BCB President Lloyd Fray said, “Due to the popularity of our summer clinic, the BCB decided to offer this clinic over the February break. The BCB camps are an important part of our youth development program which offers cricket coaching in the areas of skill, knowledge, understanding and the spirit of cricket.”
“If anyone would like to sponsor a child to attend the camp, please contact the office on 292-8958 or email info@cricket.bm.”
Regarding the previously held BCB Summer Clinic, parents said, “My son stated that he enjoyed the Clinic and that he actually felt he had learnt more about cricket. He has expressed his desire to return next year.”
“My son was pleased and we will return next year, each year it improves.”
“The Summer Clinic was organised, kept parents informed and gave some variation in activity such as swimming, movies and the BBQ which was great.”
“The element of learning news skills in cricket remained forefront while still allowing some other elements to the clinic.”
“The counselors were exemplary and devoted.”
“Coaching was good and a good mix of cricket and other things.”
The spokesperson continued, “The BCB Clinic is SunSmart accredited by Bermuda Cancer and Health and all our counselors have received training and follow their guidelines for a SunSmart Summer. The BCB Clinic Counselors are SCARS trained to be able to Prevent, Recognize and React Responsibly to child sexual abuse.
“The BCB is a registered charity and has been certified by the Bermuda National Standards Committee for the highest standard of Charity Management since 2008.”
