  The Cricket Blast Programme is designed to provide children at Elementary School (U12) with a Fun and International experience that they enjoy with their Family while developing motor/cricket Skills. The Cricket Blast Series, full of action and games, is held every month between April and October in Sano, Akishima, and Kaizuka.
