Badalona Cricket Club is founded in 2015 with the youth of the city. Earlier this club played with the senior players, but we are now focused on the juniors to find future players for the country. Spain has a national cricket team playing international tournaments. We are one of the junior teams that intends to seek talent for the future and prepare to represent the country.
In Spain, cricket is still not a well known sport. So if anybody has interest to know and play cricket are also invited. We'll train them to become a player.
As we have explained above that, it is a club for young players. We have a mission to bring these young players on a global level. To reach this level we need support. Like any other sport, to play cricket we need a lot of money, lots of space and a lot of work. Our club has no sponsor or funder. So far the costs are covered by boys and club manager (also the coach). For this scool kids, it is difficult that you can spend it all.
In this project we plan to prepare children to play cricket and participate in local and national competitions. We do not have a ground, but we managed to use a public space where we can practice cricket, but they are not always free. We have a future plan to find children who are interested in sports and coaching to play cricket. We are sure one day these kids will represent the country.
These boys were playing in the street. They are from various countries, but played together and they wanted to play real cricket. Their passion and love for cricket helps us to form this club. All this boys have talents and hope that we make a good team and have a good result in the league 2016 will begin in September.
