Cricket is a unique sport that allows players to work as a team, build comradery and social skills, while also being able to build their own individual skill sets in batting, bowling and fielding. Cricket is not just a physical sport that builds strength, co-ordination and agility, but the mental skills of resilience, strategy and prediction are also a huge part of the game! A great game for everyone!

A great way to learn the skills and love of the game!
