With over 1500 kids in attendance
at the 2019/20 KFC Mini-Cricket Provincial Festival, the KFC Mini-Cricket kids
from the capital city kicked off by bowling and batting their hearts out at the
first KFC Mini-Cricket Provincial Festival at Tshwane University of Technology,
Pretoria.
The day’s festivities started off
with KFC celebrating the 10-year milestone in partnership with Cricket South
Africa and recognised 10 volunteer coaches for their tireless efforts and
unwavering contribution to the programme for the last 10 years.
The programme brings youngsters
from across our diverse country together and not only introduces them to the
wonderful game of cricket but also allows them to play and have fun. The
afternoon saw the excited kids being treated to a fun filled day, getting
active with their teams and interacting with Zac and their favourite local
stars in DJ Zinhle, Motlatsi Mafatshe and Cindy Poluta.
The attending kids from the
various schools are a part of the 124 000 kids from 6495 schools that take
part in over 40 000 KFC Mini-Cricket matches around the country over the
cricket season.
The KFC Mini-Cricket programme
remains one of the most impactful and significant development programmes in the
South African sporting landscape and goes far beyond the game of cricket.
Kids from all walks of life and
corners of the country will continue to have a platform that will help them
grow, develop and shine in hopes of reaching their full potential and realise
their dreams and possibly become the future stars of this country, like their
Protea Heroes.
