I coach youth cricket in Colorado (USA) with programs in both the community and at the elementary school level. I have found this book a wonderful resource for interesting drills. I have also expanded and modified their drills for American children to create additional drills for my program.

I believe this book is a MUST for anyone serious about mainstreaming cricket in the US, and more specifically teaching children (who live anywhere!) cricket.

The ACB has approved this; remember they have created the worlds best cricket side, arguably, best ever. Why not learn from the best, using their tools and resources? This is one affordable vehicle one should consider for your children and adult cricket program!

I coach cricket in the US having played it in the UK. This book is a great introduction to the sport. I also coach rugby & I have found that one has to expect to buy several books/DVD et cetera to ensure that one has an overall view of ideas and tactics .

G'day , I found Coaching Youth Cricket by Australian Cricket Board very useful in launching an in school program in Kansas and across the USA teaching PE Teachers about the game of cricket and also educate parents new to the game as to what it was all about. I highly recommend it. to find out more about cricket in the USA i also recommend checking out [...] and [...] if you are interested in learning about Cricket this book will help.

I am currently researching sports not regularly played in the USA and how they are played by both children and adults. Cricket is the first on my list. Considering the fact that my "world of sports" has only included baseball, basketball, American football, and hockey, I find this book quite helpful. It speaks in terms the total novice can understand and it seems to adequately describe children's involvement in the game.

I have read this book and I found the information contained within it to be so useless that it was actually quite boring to read with nothing new or informative to learn. I believe I would have better spent my money on other cricket coaching books which are much cheaper and in my view contain quality information regarding the coaching of cricket for all ages, youths included. I guess I forgot the golden rule "never judge a book by its cover".
