MODERN DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATION OF CRICKET SPORT IN THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

Abstract

An up-to-date approach is an innovation with the introduction of non-traditional sports, such as cricket, which arouses interest among students according to their preferences and motor abilities. The new nontraditional sports fill a gap in the attitude of students toward conventional physical education activities – emotional. Acquaintance with the unconventional always carries a positive emotional charge. This, combined with active sports–competitive activity, helps to a greater extent to fulfil the main goals of physical education in high schools. A retrospective of the cricket sport in higher education institutions in Bulgaria as part of the education system was made. The attitude of students toward non-traditional sports and their popularity has been studied.
