About
"Over most sports, cricket will teach you many things, and more than just how to bat and bowl. It can teach you valuable life skills. Throughout the sport, you will come across players sharing a multitude of expressions and emotions, elation, commiseration, disappointment and satisfaction but most of all, respect.
Wherever you hail from, no matter what ability and experience you may have or whether you are able bodied or disabled, our adaptive and highly skilled coaching will help you on your path of progression to become a better cricketer and person in a safe, supportive and friendly atmosphere.
Cricket is more than just numbers and statistics; it is what YOU want to make it."
