With numerous regional titles under their belt, the MC ELITE 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.
We’ve also teamed up with Saltburn Cricket Club, seeing huge national and regional success. Becuase of this, our players have the opportunity to gain ECB coaching qualifications and placements at Saltburn CC. Students can also gain entry to the winter indoor cricket league and the Association of Colleges indoor and outdoor competitions!
Did you know? The Cricket Academy has previously been national champions, currently placing 2nd for outdoor and 3rd for indoor cricket nationally!
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.”
