During one of your Board meetings I listened to Director Stuart describe his enjoyment watching a game of Cricket. It's really catching on in the community. In fact, several team players commented publicly at a Redmond Council meeting last week.
Director Mark Stuart started a Cricket conversation on Facebook today. He introduced their President. The following was my reply:
I love the Cricket I've seen on YouTube. Honoring the game in our District and City acknowledges a critical segment of our Indian population and their culture. The biggest obstacle to growth and acceptance of the game is FIELD SPACE. Currently, they play at Marymoor Park (#1) Perrigo Park, and Redmond Middle School. I've also seen them at Hartman Park fields. Lacrosse consumes significant field space. The District should open their fields to make Cricket happen. Same with the City with their parks. Smith Park and possibly Grasslawn? Thanks Mark W. Stuart for increasing awareness of the sport and what it means to the players, parents and community at large. BY
You will find this link on the history of the game and how it's played interesting:
Warm regards,
