The NYC PSAL has begun a summer coaching camp for cricket. Whilst its expected the high school players who play in the PSAL League will be the main participants, the PSAL Big Apple Summer Camp is open to all youth, even those who have not played the game.
American College Cricket President Lloyd Jodah attended Thursday, opening day where there were about 25 players and American College Cricket Level II Coach Rudy John shared his expertise.
John recently worked on the 2012 American College Cricket Spring Break Championship, which then gave him the opportunity to work at the West Indies vs New Zealand matches at the CBRP Cricket Stadium.
John is one of the coaches, along with Amir Saddiqui, recommended by American College Cricket to be invited by the University of West Indies to complete their Level III Coaching Certification. John has been active in the NY Region as a youth Coach for some time.
