About Flicx – built on a passion
When founder Richard Beghin realised there weren’t enough facilities for the increasingly-popular sport of cricket, especially in South Africa, he founded Flicx. He wanted to help make South Africa a better country to live in, and his passion for his country and his love of cricket led him to develop the Flicx Cricket Pitch. In August 1997, he rolled out the first one at Telkom Country Club in Pretoria, South Africa.

A success in the UK too
In 1999, after creating a successful business in South Africa, Richard launched Flicx Cricket Pitches at the England and Wales Cricket coaching conference. They met with a tremendous response. Mr Keith Pont, Director of Amateur Cricket of the ECB ordered 800 pitches for grass roots cricket in the UK, while Mr Ross Turner of the ICC went on to order Flicx Pitches for the development of grass roots cricket around the world. Flicx UK was formed in 2001 and and is now a well-recognised and respected name in cricketing circles, with a growing reputation in other sports too.
The Flicx philosophy
Flicx's philosophy is very simple: to help develop people through a range of sports, including cricket, rugby and hockey, and with Crazy Ball.
Richard’s belief is that if we can teach children at all levels, through sport, that life is about team work, individual skills and the will to win and not about selfishness, greed and individualism, they will have a wonderful opportunity for a better way of life.
