Why Children should play cricket

Teaching Children to play sport in the correct manner

Sport can be a great release for children.  It gets them out of the house, they meet new friends and most importantly it can teach them the disciplines they need in their work career.  How to deal with victory and defeat, how to deal with elation and frustration.

There is no doubt that children who are active in their younger life stay fitter and healthier.

Cricket is a wonderful game for children and caters for all levels of playing ability. all shapes and sizes and at younger ages can be played by both boys and girls at the same level.

Crawley Cricket Club has run a successful youth policy for many years.  Colts who learned the basic skills of the game have gone onto County contract and highly successful playing careers in the game.  More importantly , many players of more modest ability have gone on to enjoy the game and play cricket for many years.
