Registration forms for the two-week Academy became available from this week at the club’s pavilion on Thomas Road in Thomas Lands. The Academy runs from 09:00h to 15:00h each week-day, and the fee for registration is $4,000. Lunch and snacks will be provided for the students, and the first 70 participants will be accepted.
The Malteenoes Cricket Academy was, in July 1993, launched in recognition of the Club’s motto, “Our Youth, Our Future”. The MSC’s principal intention is to add to the national grid young, proud, confident individuals.
The Academy caters for males and females between the ages of 6 and 18 years old. It would include classroom and field work, which would provide the tools for the participants to become cricketers, umpires, scorers, journalists and broadcasters, all of which can be well paid careers.
Qualified coaches will conduct technical and physical sessions, while facilitators will talk on education, social skills, health and hygiene, etiquette, child protection, laws and history of cricket, umpiring and scoring.
The Academy has produced Test players Ramnaresh Sarwan, Ryan Ramdass, Narsingh Deonarine and West Indies female Test player Indomattie Goordial.
