An inaugural cricket development seminar was hosted recently at the Kuortane IAAF Sports Institute by CricketFinland. The seminar was attended by the ICC’s European Development Manager, Richard Holdsworth and Ross Walker from TeachSport, along with 29 delegates from FCA and all its member clubs. The seminar was an inspiring, proactive success in laying the building blocks for sustainable expansion of cricket in Finland. Holdsworth presented on two keys areas of development - Good Governance and Development Principles.

Holdsworth commented "To have full representation from all clubs in any country is a great achievement in itself, however this was a great opportunity to involve the great minds and thoughts of all clubs". "Cricket Finland has great ambition for the future, but the development of the game in any country is all about clubs, and this was a great opportunity for the FCA Committee to work with the clubs and their needs". "The outcome was a much better understanding of the governance required to succeed and an excellent team ethic with the clubs and board".
