Otago Cricket offered to run free sessions at school this week by sending Jaiden Chhika, a Play and Sport Activator to run some taster sessions to get students interested in modified programmes. Budding cricketers were involved in a 30 minute sessions where they were taken through a range of games and are designed teach children valuable small-ball and cricket skills through play. These visits are also designed to promote modified programmes which are run in Balclutha and Girls Smash & Summer Smash Cricket.

Some comments from Room 19 students:

"We got to practice our cricket skills by catching. throwing and running"

"It was fun and I liked learning new skills"

"The games were fun  and the batting was too"

"The only thing that was bad was it wasn't long enough"
