Future Hope children to be IPL ballboys!
The IPL (Indian Premier League) cricket season is about to start. The Kolkata Knight Riders have chosen Future Hope to provide boys to be the ball boys for all the KKR matches at the Eden Gardens. We are sending 70 boys (10 for each match) to be smartly turned out for the matches which will be played under lights at night. This is indeed a great honour
One Ballboy's Experience

|
"When I was a ball boy in Eden Garden 14th of March, before the match we went to Eden Gardens for a practice. The match officials showed us lots of techniques like how to catch the ball, not to stay in the middle of the sight-screen and when you caught the ball to give it to the nearest player etc. When I entered there were lots of spectators and all the players were practising for the real match. I saw lots of big players like Surav Ganguly, Jack Kallis and Angleo Mathews. It was a big match: Bangalore Royal Challengers vs Kolkata Knight Riders. After one or two hours the game started .There were lots of boundaries with fours and sixes .Many boys from FHS were ball boys .They caught lots of balls and I also did. There was lots of dancing by cheerleaders and lots of noise from spectators. At last when game was finished we went home in the car. I enjoyed being a ball boy very much." |
