Cricket inspires young refugees in Lebanon

By Helen Vost | Managing Director

More and more young refugees living in camps in Lebanon are being given the opportunity not only to play cricket but also to develop their leadership skills through cricket.

This summer Youth Sport Trust International expert trainers delivered online sessions to upskill a new wave of teenage refugee male and female cricket coaches.  Topics covered included:

  • Design and delivery of effective training sessions
  • Keeping players motivated
  • The balance between competition and learning
  • Clear verbal and non-verbal communication
  • Encouraging teamwork and confidence.

'My sincere gratitude for your continuous support  in our mission to empower and develop young leaders in the world of cricket, your commitment and vision have been instrumental in the success of this initiative, helping to enhance the skills and leadership abilities of young players.' (Feedback from the head coach)

Our partner in Lebanon is the Alsama Project which offers young refugees new horizons and empowers them to achieve what they thought was impossible through education.  Supporting 1000 bottom-of-pyramid Syrian refugee teenagers, Alsama runs education centres and cricket hubs across Lebanon.

We need your help to continue changing the loves of young refugees through cricket.  THANK YOU.
