Clarke Road cricket clinics start tomorrow

The initiative, which has been held since 2005, will benefit boys and girls in five age groups (7-9, 9-11, 11- 12, 13-15 and 15-17) with 16 sessions every Friday until May. The sessions will be conducted from 4 pm to 6 pm and will be supervised by the experienced and watchful guidance of club coach Dasrath Maharaj. Assisting him are former national cricketers Mukesh Persad and Mahadeo Bodoe, along with Usha Persad.

Clarke Road United have a long and well-documented history of success in youth development, producing numerous players who have gone on to represent Trinidad and Tobago, as well as the West Indies teams.

The weekly programme will be conducted by the qualified coaches in a safe environment where the budding cricketers will also be involved in competitive matches to test their skills and gauge their progress.

Clarke Road officials are encouraging all parents and guardians to have their children participate in this healthy and beneficial initiative. Sessions are open to the public.

Clarke Road boats one of the strongest youth systems in the country with a proliferation of top national players coming through their programme.

The club will also be soon undertaking an Under-16 tour of Guyana over the Carnival period.
