Our coaching team are all professional coaches (most of whom have played or coached in a professional environment). Our coaches are all enhanced DBS checked, first aid trained and have attended safeguarding training as a minimum.

The coaches will aim to build rapport, listen, use their intuition, ask effective questions and give constructive feedback.

Each day of each camp is different, as the makeup and needs of our cricketers will vary. The programme is designed to teach our cricketers new skills, help them make new friends and have a great time doing so.
