SOUTH AFRICA’S leading cricket development programme – KFC Mini-Cricket – received a boost in the SWD Cricket Union at the annual KFC Mini-Cricket provincial seminar on Saturday, 6 November.
Coaches, volunteers, administrators, key stakeholders, and coordinators gathered at the Makietie venue at Volmoed Oudtshoorn to listen to how the season will unfold.
The 2021/22 KFC Mini-Cricket Provincial se-minar was hosted in person for the first time in two years with limited delegates and guests while those that could not attend in person did so virtually.
SWD KFC Mini-Cricket coordinator Genevieve Anthony was beaming with joy at the opportunity to once again host the KFC Mini-Cricket seminars in person, as last year’s seminar was hosted online due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
“The seminars are important as they lay the foundation for our season and we are happy to have hosted all our guests including our volunteer coaches, Cricket South Africa and our Sponsor KFC as we plan to resume play.” Anthony commented.
The overarching theme of this year’s KFC Mini-Cricket festival is “Imvuselelo” or “Recovery” as South Africa continues to recover and rebuild from the devastating impact of the Covid pandemic.
KFC Mini-Cricket provides a platform for kids in South Africa to have fun and be active. It is the largest grassroots development sports programme in South Africa and is also an essential building block for learning cricketing basics and entrenching a love for the game.
