JAMMU, Apr 19: A Special Cricket Coaching Camp with ECB Level III Coach Rodney Jones from UK concluded today afternoon at KC Sports Club, here.
Starting on April 8, the 12 days long camp turned out to be a great success with more than 350 young cricket aspirants from J&K benefitting from the experience and skills of a seasoned coach.
The trainees consisted of a fairly large number of young cricketers from the State of J&K being groomed by J&K Sports Council and Department of Youth Services & Sports. Rest of them included students from KC Public School and from other schools and colleges in the State enrolled for the camp.
The training during the camp comprised of intensive coaching sessions in the indoor Cricket Hall of the Club and on its outdoor Cricket ground. All cricketing skills, namely, batting, bowling, fielding and general fitness were imparted to the trainees individually and in groups.
Coach Jones scheduled to return home today evening spoke affectionately of his pupils and recalled fond memories of his coaching stints with young cricketers of J&K in the previous camps arranged by KC Sports Club.
He added that he always enjoyed and looked forward to his interactions with the young cricketers of J&K in the form of these intensive coaching camps.
