IYCA has now instructed 357 teachers, 71 of whom are now “Basics of Cricket” Certified in Indiana, while the PESI summer event provides great a opportunity to interact with many PE teachers from across Indiana.

INYCA also plan to kick start “Advanced Cricket” & “Umpiring Basics” clinics during this summer which will support its plan for T10 Inter-school programs for the 2013-14 school year.
