Cricket

Introduction

Established in 1983 and located in Meerpur Cantt, Kanpur, the J.N.T. Sports Welfare Foundation (formerly J.N.T. Organisation) has promoted cricket by organizing tournaments for players of all age groups. Over the years, we have received support from talented national and state players, strengthening our commitment to nurturing young cricketing talent.

Accreditation

As an NGO, the J.N.T. Sports Welfare Foundation is not affiliated with any district, state, or central cricket association. However, the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) and Kanpur Cricket Association (KCA) consistently recognize and support our unwavering efforts to promote the sport. Managing a youth sports organization today requires adherence to multiple safety and ethical standards. In 2009, J.N.T. adopted the BCCI "Safe Hands Policy", ensuring that all players, coaches, and managers undergo Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks. We operate under the Community Amateur Sports Club status and take issues of equity, ethics, management, and, most importantly, player safety very seriously.

Our View of Youth Cricket

We firmly believe that young players are the heart of J.N.T. Sports Welfare Foundation and play a vital role in its present and future success. We aim to encourage, support, and nurture young cricketers, ensuring they feel valued regardless of age, gender, skill level, or experience.

We are committed to providing a safe and inclusive environment where young players can:

  • Enjoy the game of cricket and develop their skills.
  • Grow in confidence both on and off the field.
  • Build friendships and teamwork.
  • Play in an atmosphere free from harassment, bullying, or other risks.

    • Our Priorities

  • Enhances safety and reduces injury risks.
  • Boosts confidence and improves overall performance.
  • Ensures a more enjoyable playing experience.

    • We also provide our players with food, water, and soft (non-fizzy) drinks during matches to maintain a healthy and hygienic environment.
