The “Cricket Factory” Equipment was presented to the KNCB (Royal Netherlands Cricket Board) by Cricket Factory and Factory Eleven and will be a feature in the new KNCB Youth Plan.

The KNCB has received two sets of ‘Cricket Factory’, which will be used by the Regional Development Officers Subir Shrestha and Hannah Hoffman, within the current coaching program for schools and clubs, and other national and regional activities.

The ‘Cricket Factory’ Equipment Range is specifically designed to help children and adults in a positive and enjoyable way to get acquainted with cricket, so they can be encouraged to pick up the Core Skills of the sport.

With the visually impactful equipment, participants can become acquainted with all facets of Cricket: bowling, batting, throwing, catching. All activities can be adapted to the individual skill level of the participants.

The Programme also enables organizations to inform the participants about where they can play and watch cricket.

 

The KNCB expect to utilise the ‘Cricket Factory’ at more than fifty activities and events with the “KNCB Road Show” in the coming year, with summer camps, school programs, introductory clinics for sports teachers, other clinics, open days and cricket tournaments.

The ‘Cricket Factory’ will also be a feature at the broadcast by Sky Sports of the CB40 match between Netherlands and Gloucestershire on July 27 at the VRA.
