SKILLS
Skill sessions during the pre-Christmas period focus on individual technical work-ons and developing player strengths in preparation for the next phase of their careers.
There is a strong emphasis on building an understanding of individual games, performing in a variety of conditions and the requirements of being a professional athlete.
Post-Christmas skill sessions focus on maintaining the areas developed during the pre-Christmas block and preparing for the domestic season.
Players will take more of a lead on their individual practice requirements, the goals of their sessions and what specific support they require from the coaching staff.
Coaching and development
Sessions are delivered by coaches who have worked with a number of professional cricketers. Coaches who have played at first-class and international level are in regular attendance helping players prepare for the challenges of top level cricket.
Players are encouraged to work on all areas of their game and develop methods that will be successful in a variety of conditions. Sessions will take place on various surfaces providing different challenges on a daily basis.
