Background:

In the spring of 2014, the Bowie Boys and Girls Club (BBGC) formed a partnership with

Prince Georges County Public Schools (PGCPS) to start an elementary school cricket

league. We started in the fall of 2013 by going to P.E. classes and teaching the kids how

to play cricket in 7 elementary schools: Whitehall, Heather Hills, Rockledge,

Kenilworth/Yorktown.

After spring break there were 4 games for each team. Then, the playoffs began. Heather Hills 1 and Whitehall 3 made it to the finals.

Heather Hills 1 beat Whitehall 3 in a close match. Encouraged by the success of the program, the BBGC decided to expand the cricket

league to include other elementary school in Bowie as well as several schools in the College Park area.
