cricket
At Roosevelt Academy cricket is offered to all learners as a summer sporting code (in the first and fourth terms).
We encourage all boys to make use of this opportunity.
Grade 1 and 2 boys play mini-cricket once a week and are taught the basic skills required with the emphasis being on enjoyment and full participation.
In Grade 3, boys play mini-cricket matches against other schools for the first time. Two teams compete at this level. Matches are played using a soft ball. We also start to prepare the boys for hard ball cricket and offer them the opportunity to practice in the nets once a week with a hard ball, as well as attending the scheduled mini-cricket practice.
