Registration Opens: Free Kids Cricket Program
Registration for the free Tokio Millennium Re Pee Wee ‘Have-a-go’ Cricket Program for children ages 5 – 7 opens today [Jan 27], with the program set to take place at Berkeley Institute Gym beginning next month.
“The program takes place at Berkeley Institute Gym Saturday 20 February and runs every Saturday finishing on 19 March,” the Bermuda Cricket Board said.
“During the sessions, the players will be introduced to the basics of cricket with the main aim of having fun. Utilising the ‘Have-a-go’ Cricket equipment, coaches will work with the players on learning the basics skills of catching, bowling and batting with the aim of playing a game in the last session against the parents.
“On March 12, the BCB is offering an additional session for the parents to learn fun skills and drills which they play with their children at home. On the last day parents and their children will participate in a parent/child game followed by a short prize presentation.
Mr. Lloyd Fray, President of the BCB said, “On behalf of the BCB I am very pleased that the BCB’s popular Pee Wee Program will once again be offered FREE thanks to the continued support of Tokio Millennium Re who share our strong focus of bettering the lives of Bermuda’s youth through sports.
“The emphasis of “Have-a-go” Cricket is on participation and enjoyment. I would like to encourage all our young Bermudians to register soon to ensure a space in this popular program!”
The sessions run as follows:
- 5 year olds – 1.00 – 2.00pm
- 6-7 year olds – 2.15 – 3.30pm
