Modern Cricket Coaching Is Here!
The modern sport environment demands that an athlete is able to execute skills in a number of ways
and in different scenarios and conditions. No longer is it sufficient to be able to demonstrate a skill in
perfect technique style, the measurement of success is dependent on the athlete’s ability to make the
correct decisions at the right time in a match environment. The focus is continually shifting away
from the development of ‘correct technique’ to the development of ‘correct decision making.’
Quality Coaching and Coaching Methodologies should be available at grass roots level to be able to
develop the next generation of cricket talent. Consequently, Cricket India Academy invests
significantly in the training, resourcing and performance management of coaches so that they are
best able to deliver high quality sessions that create the environment for participants to learn and
develop their cricket ability.
With local coaches trained by Cricket Australia Coach Educators and led by ex-Indian Cricketer and
Cricket India Academy Coach Director Pravin Amre, Cricket India Academy offer an inclusive,
participant focused and modern coaching environment for the cricket stars of tomorrow.
