Indoor Cricket Juniors World Series South Africa 2012

A warm South African welcome to all players, managers and officials taking part in the first ever Indoor Cricket Junior World Series 2012. The tournament will take place in the Gauteng province which can be considered as the sporting hub of the African continent. South Africa has played host to a few major sporting world cups in the past, the largest three being the Soccer, Cricket and Rugby world cups, so we have developed a reputation for hosting fantastic world cups.

Gauteng Province is situated a stone throw away from some of the most spectacular tourist destinations
we have, so visiting some of these before or after the tournament would be an experience not to be missed. There are a host of game reserves within a 3 hour drive where you could get a true experience of the famous African bushveld. There you would be able to see the "big 5" which are the Lion, Elephant, Rhino, Leopard and Buffalo, in their natural environment. We will also be situated two hours away from Sun City, South Africa's version of Las Vegas. Sun City is best known for playing host to the $2 mill golf tournament, five star hotels and casino's all nestled into the Pilansberg game reserve where you will also find the "big 5".

Indoor Cricket or "Action Cricket" as it is better known in South Africa is one of the fastest growing sports in this sport mad country. It has shown phenomenal growth annually over the past twenty years, and now boast massive participation throughout the country. We are hoping for a huge public interest and are expecting the host arena to be packed with spectators for the duration of the tournament. There will also be television coverage of the tournament, so with any luck, you and your teams may make an appearance on South African television.

After a very successful 2011 Indoor Cricket World Cup, we are sure that you and your team will be part of an amazing event and we are sure that you enjoy each and every moment of the event, from the opening ceremony to the cricket, to the Sun City Tour and finally the finals and closing event.

To end off I would personally like to congratulate each one of you for being selected to represent your country in the Junior World Series. I am fully aware of the amount of training required to get to this level, and just for that you deserve a huge pat on the back. Well done! The hard work is now almost over, but remember to enjoy this experience as these occasions are usually once in a lifetime. Now is the time to draw on all your hard work and God given talent to excel in this Junior World Series.

Good luck! And remember that you are all already winners...

A Day at the Lost City - Valley of Waves

Enjoy a Day at the Lost City Valley of the Waves!

The Valley of the Waves in the heart of this ancient volcano, according to the legend, a great civilisation arose. The peace-loving nomads from the north settled in this lush green valley, where they built their spectacular Palace, surrounded by abundantly flowing waters and beautiful gardens. After an earthquake destroyed their home, the people fled and eventually, the Palace and its city became completely overgrown.

Centuries later, a modern explorer stumbled upon this Lost City. The Palace was restored to its former glory, and re-opened in 1992 as part of the amazing Lost City development at Sun City South Africa.

There is an astounding variety of adventures waiting to be discovered and enjoyed here.
