About
Clutch Coaching offers group academy sessions to supplement school/club trainings across 8 weeks of term 4. The programme is designed to develop skillsets that ensure our cricketers grow their game and add new skills that can be appplied to their Saturday matches each week.
You can expect sessions to cover a combination of cricket related drills designed to improve techniques with an opportunity to apply these in a net session against cricketing peers of similar ages and abilities.
We aim to provide at least 1 coach per lane being used - with a ratio of 5-7 cricketers to each coach.
Suitability
These programmes are designed for hard ball cricketers year 5 -year 8 (9-13 years of age).
