Brit school discipline thrives with cricket

I saw this article on the IOL website and thought I would post the link here:

An ambitious scheme to boost self-confidence and discipline among British children by reviving competitive cricket in state schools is thriving after three years and its founders are determined to sustain it.

Rest of the article here

Some good points are raised in the article and maybe we should be grateful for the level of coaching and enthusiasm that South African kids receive.

- Sport must be fun
- Coaches have to buy into it
- Train the teachers so they can pass it on the enthusiasm to the kids
- Can the kids carry on playing when there isn't a coach there?

Its a nice initiative and wish the school the best of luck.
