St. Louis camp spotlights youth cricket training for local families
Tandy Recreation Center’s Lee Pritts camp looked like a youth sports deal, but the visible caption called it wrestling, not cricket. Verify the sport before you register.
A St. Louis Instagram reel posted Aug. 5 promoted a four-session Lee Pritts camp at Tandy Recreation Center, 4206 Kennerly Ave., and the visible caption said it was 12 hours of technique, drilling and live wrestling for $95 with a T-shirt included. The same post referenced July 23-25, 2026 and said it was open to ages 5 and up, which makes it the kind of short, low-cost youth option families tend to move on quickly.
That format matters. Four sessions over three days usually means a repetition-heavy camp, not a one-off clinic, so the setup points to fundamentals first and live work later. Pritts is also a legitimate wrestling name, with assistant-coach stops at Old Dominion in 2004, Missouri in 2007 and NC State in 2010 before Sun Devil Athletics listed him as associate head coach.
For families looking at St. Louis youth cricket, the key detail is that this reel was not a cricket camp. Verify the sport, the age band and the price before paying, because the visible caption and search-result text describe wrestling instruction, not cricket. The city’s own Tandy programming adds another layer: the City of St. Louis Parks and Recreation Division lists Tandy - Summer Camp with online registration, an enrollment window from April 13 to June 1, and an age range enforced from 6 through 12 as of April 15.
Tandy still matters to cricket families because it sits inside the city’s broader youth-sports network. Missouri Youth Cricket Association announced recreational junior cricket in St. Louis for players of all ages and said participation was free. In 2015, MYCA completed an 8-week camp at Love Park in Ballwin with St. Louis County Parks and Recreation, coached by Ashok Dubey and Ranjeet Singh, and that camp grew into the Ballwin Youth Cricket Club. CYC Academy also recorded an ACAC Midwest Minor Cricket League St. Louis, MO U13 championship in 2019.
That is the useful part of a post like this: it shows how a neighborhood rec center can serve as an entry point for youth sports in St. Louis, but only if the listing matches what families think they are signing up for.
