Székesfehérvár
Comenius Juniors was founded in September 2006, based at Comenius School in the town (but open to all ages and not restricted to students)
 There are currently around 30 junior players active in the club (half boys, half girls)
 The club has nets behind the school and trains practically every day when there is good weather (players from other towns often come to practise)
Matches are held on a Flicx mat on the football pitch in the nearby village of Iszkaszentgyörgy
 The players have travelled to many different countries for cricket matches (see the results below) and have played in the Hungarian Cricket League since its inception in 2007

Junior cricket information
Youth Development Officer
Jerry Bloemsma
Most of the youth cricket in Hungary so far has developed under the stewardship of Andy Grieve at the pioneering Comenius School in Székesfehérvár and Jerry will now look to build upon this excellent foundation on a countrywide scale in cooperation with Andy
Jerry is originally from the Netherlands but has been a primary teacher in Hungary for more than a decade in Szolnok, Eastern Hungary
He has been tasked with drawing up a plan to help spread cricket throughout all schools nationwide, at the forefront of which will be the recruitment of willing volunteers to coach beginners' cricket in schools

Primary schools get learning and playing cricket

50 primary school kids in Tiszakürt got their first taste of cricket in April 2009 and now they have won their first matches after just three training sessions - the first-ever inter-school matches in Hungarian cricket history!
Robin Sperling, a Brit whose sons attend the school, was aided by HCA President Ferenc Zsigri and newly-appointed Youth Development Officer Jerry Bloemsma in the hour-long demonstration, which revealed some talented and enthusiastic kids.
On Friday 24th April two teams from Szanda CC in Szolnok (coached by Jerry at their primary school since September 2008) travelled to Tiszakürt and played two matches, which were both won by the new kids in front of around 30 spectators - read the report and view the scorecards.
 After the matches both schools were presented with KwikCricket sets (thanks to sponsorship by Kancellar.hu)
 
Other cricket demonstrations
  In the Apaczai Csere János Gimnázium in Budapest 30-40 students were taken through the basics on how to play cricket by Hungarian and expatriate coaches, a session described as "wonderful" by one of the watching teachers and which has already yielded several new players wishing to join clubs and attend regular sessions at schools in the 5th district
   Other demos to have taken place include ones at Eötvös Lóránd Tudományegyetem (University of Science), Semmelweis Orvostudományi Egyetem (Medical University) and various schools in Szekesfehervar
 
 

We are looking for people to volunteer to coach cricket at schools (primary and secondary) in Hungary
You don't need to be a qualified coach - as long as you can teach the basics of cricket and make the kids have fun playing, you're the right person for the job!
 We can help you in every way - equipment, coaching advice, finding and negotiating with a school
 We are sure that many schools would be interested in having cricket as an after-school activity for their kids, especially if the coaching is carried out in English
 Hungarian junior teams often travel abroad to tournaments, giving the kids an added incentive to start a fun sport
 To express your interest please email info@hungary4cricket.com with a liitle background info about yourself - age, cricket experience, teaching experience, location, preferences, times available
