A Nationwide Movement

Building More Than Just Cricket Skills

  • Beyond the game, kids gain a passion for healthy living and learn valuable life skills like teamwork, leadership, discipline, and perseverance.

Investing in Youth, Shaping Futures
We’re passionate about the KFC Mini-Cricket programme because it’s more than just a game—it’s about making the most of life’s innings.

HOW DO I GET INVOLVED

Help them get the most out of life’s innings

We believe that KFC Mini-Cricket is about more than just the game, it’s an opportunity to teach our children valuable life skills and social skills such as teamwork and discipline, while promoting a balanced and active lifestyle.

It’s not just Mini-Cricket. It’s a game that inspires greatness

WHY KFC IS INVOLVED?

At KFC, we believe that our brand is so much more than just finger lickin’ good:

It’s about ensuring that every child is filled with confidence, peace of mind, trust, excitement and a belief in their own potential and abilities.

From the first ball bowled, our involvement was intentional, and purpose driven – knowing that we were not only partnering with Cricket South Africa to develop the pipeline of professional players but shaping future community members, role models and leaders too.

Our strategy is to impact lives beyond the boundary

Our strategy is to ensure that our graduates grow to become role models; community leaders and cricket lovers and that for everyone, self-belief is built from inside to out.
