According to Head Coach Alton Crafton, this cricket development programme caters for any interested young aspiring cricketer between ages of 5 and 19 and takes place at the DSCG on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Over 75 young enthusiastic and energetic aspiring cricketers were involved in what was clearly an enjoyable session of cricket development.

Some of the main activities included warm-up using fun activities, catching exercises/drills, the fundamentals of running between the wickets, batting drills/activities, and Gros Islet Under-19 Cricket Team preparation with captain Dane Edward and mini cricket matches.
