The RHTY&SC Cricket Developmental Programme in the past two months of 2015 and 2016 would be focusing on the development of cricketers between the ages of 10 to 18 years. Interested youths who are disciplined, hard working and have a strong desire to excel in the classroom are invited to join the programme by visiting the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club office at the Area ‘H’ ground.
The club would not be accepting any school age child who is not attending school as a member unless that person commits himself to register in a school and pledges to complete his / her education.
The Club would assist them in this regard by providing the necessary assistance and would also assign a personal mentor/role model to each individual member.
