Kiddy Cricket
- The Scotiabank sponsored Kiddy Cricket program was introduced to Antigua in 2000. It is part of Scotiabank’s investment in the youth of the Caribbean.
- The program aims to help primary school children gain and maintain an appreciation for cricket, the game that is deeply rooted in their West Indian heritage. In addition, it helps children develop positive values and good sportsmanship, and enhances the appeal of their education.

Through Scotiabank Kiddy Cricket, children not only acquire an interest and passion for playing cricket, they also develop interpersonal skills, self-confidence, and self-discipline…qualities that benefit them for a lifetime
