Welcome to the North West Kids Cricket group.
 

I would like to bring your kind attention about getting the Kid's cricket coaching started by Vishwa Gaddamanugu and Naveed Deen with the support by North West Cricket League - NWCL (http://www.nwcl.org) as well as American Recreation Cricket League - ARCL (http://www.arcl.org).

 

The group that is involved in coaching thinks that cricket is not just a game. Cricket, with its code of laws has always been regarded as a strong moral educator. It is an essential educational opportunity for youngsters to learn many essential ingredients of social behaviour: personal achievement, team co-operation, ambition, leadership, respect for leadership, respect for rules, respect for one other alongside of the recreation pleasure it brings into our lives. Cricket is an ideal sport for all ages and abilities, apart from the obvious benefits of sporting activity, such as improving hand-eye coordination and increased physical fitness, cricket also has a strong strategy and thinking aspect. The skills learned in cricket can be equated to life skills such as patience, determination, communication and above all, team work. These skills can be nurtured and developed through participation in cricket and be an asset to any young individual in both everyday life and in the workplace. 
 

NWCL has conducted coaching sessions a few times in the last 2 years at Evergreen High School as a part of the cirriculam for the school kids to explore different sports of the world and to say the least it was a great success with kids wanting more at the end of the session.   

 

There has been plenty of push by parents to get it started earlier this summer but due to ground & time constraints as well as lack of planning we were not able to push it hard enough to get it started earlier. Rather than wait for the next summer to come, we will get some coaching done in the next month or so before winter kicks so that we can start to increase the awareness of the sport in the kids.The plan for this session is get the interested kids get some coaching from the some of the gurus of cricket who have helped cricket grow in the Northwest. 

Please join this group to get more information about the schedule and activities planned for the kids league.
