With numerous regional titles under their belt, the Cricket Academy is serious about delivering results. Here, we field with passion, hit with precision, and are dedicated to equipping you with the skills and experience necessary to reach your full potential.
Every aspect of your game will be fine-tuned by our experienced coaches, who provide supportive mentorship to inspire you to reach new heights.
We’ve also teamed up with Saltburn Cricket Club, seeing huge national and regional success. Because of this, our players have the opportunity to gain ECB coaching qualifications and placements at Saltburn Cricket Club. Students can also earn entry to the winter indoor cricket league and the AoC indoor and outdoor competitions!
When you train with us, you’ll have exclusive access to the Saltburn Indoor Cricket Centre and Outdoor practice wickets. You’ll also benefit from high-level industry equipment at the College, including a Bola Bowling Machine, a Sports Injuries Clinic, and a multi-functional gym, as well as tailored strength and conditioning sessions and a diverse range of indoor nets!
“My course is so interesting! We cover loads of different modules, and I’ve been able to gain a wide range of knowledge to help me with the next step. The Academy has also been fantastic, and with us regularly training and playing matches, my cricket has massively improved.”
Alex Smith, Level 3 Sports & Exercise Science
