Jax Sportify is happy and excited to introduce Indoor cricket - a first of its kind in Jacksonville. Indoor Cricket, often referred as Box cricket is a thrilling version of traditional cricket. The box cricket is played with unique rules and regulations to add excitement to this unique game. Playing cricket in an enclosed space comes with its own challenges, and box cricket takes this into account with unique rules put in place to make the game fairer for both teams in action. A truly fun version is open for all genders - juniors (>6), and adults - men and women of all ages. It promotes a collaborative & team environment among players and is non-judgemental - players of any skill level can participate. Please find below the rules of Box Cricket and the registration form for those who are interested.
