The Cricket Spot has recently decided to partner with the Indiana
Youth Cricket Association. The partnership will begin Spring 2012 and
continue for at least the next year. This partnership will mainly focus
on reaching all Physical Education teachers and coaches in the state of
Indiana.
The Indiana Youth Cricket's mission is "to Promote
Cricket and expand Youth cricket with Educational Instructions &
Training to Indiana schools and to promote fitness and advance the sport
of cricket across Indiana." With these goals in mind we will hopefully
bring the game of cricket to youth all across the state. Currently, the
Indiana Youth Cricket Association has brought cricket to eleven schools
in Indiana with another nineteen interested in learning more about the
sport. This could be huge for all of indiana Cricket.
In May 2012,
we will participate in a health fair in Hamilton County. This fair is
focused on youth nutrition and exercise/sports. Our goal is to reach out
to the kids at this event and introduce them to the sport of cricket.
We also plan to have a training this summer for all 60,000 PE teachers
in the state to learn more about cricket as well.
March 24 was
national Youth Cricket Day, a day in which we all United States Youth
Cricket can celebrate one day of the sport universally. In other United
States Youth Cricket news, Reebok Cricket recently signed a deal to
become the official cricket apparel sponsor for at least three years.
This is the first ever of a sponsorship of this magnitude and could mean
great things for Youth Cricket here in America. Currently, most Cricket
players in the US are immigrants from Australia, England, India, South
Africa and the Caribbean and hopefully this large effort to increase
youth cricket can help make it an American born sport.
The sport
was introduced to schools in 2010, on the east coast, and since there
have been over 1000 schools to introduce cricket to their school, we
find this growth to be impressive. There currently is a program for
schools to receive a free cricket set if interested. And The USCYA along
with the INYCA will both provide free training and instruction to all
interested parties.
In conclusion, we are very excited about this
new partnership. We are sure that this new growth will ensure that the
United States will follow in the rest of the world's passion for the
sport of Cricket!
