Learn Cricket USA purpose:

Cricket is a sport that is watched by billions and played by millions of people around the world. It is fun, simple and easily adaptable to be played anywhere, by anyone, at any time.

This training will give new participants to Cricket a Fun First experience that we hope will inspire a life-long journey with the game and set them up for long-term success.

This program has been developed in collaboration with the International Cricket Council (ICC), USA Cricket, and Cricket Australia by leading educational experts with the main purpose of getting kids active and engaged.

Along with the “Gamified” approach of the activities, the training framework is focused around “Physical Literacy” to be proficient at every cricketing skill and conquer progression levels to grow in confidence and be successful in every learning outcome.

Session Structure:

This table outlines the structure of each session.

For skills and games, the class will be split into smaller groups to maximize the time they are active.

All sessions are led by an ICC certified coach.

Unofficial Start: Skills Adventure

● The skills adventure is a set of 4 random activities that a child can work independently on while the facilitator is waiting for all children to arrive for today’s session.

● This free play is important to prepare participants physically and mentally for the session. This time allows participants to get creative with new skills, experimenting to see if they can work out these skills for themselves.

Engagement Activity: Healthy Heart

● This is a great way for children to connect with each other through short games that raise the heart rate. The key here is that everyone is involved all of the time to raise the heart rate of each individual.
