CCM Academy - JUNIOR Academy
     



Alan Wells coaching The Junior Academy

The CricketCoachMaster Academy is setting up a Junior Academy for talented young cricketers between the ages of 10 and 13.

The senior CCM Academy program has been a huge success and many players have graduated into First Class County age group teams and Academies.
We are looking to set up a shortened version of our Senior Program (6 days) for up to 16 boys.

Boys who are interested in joining must be of at least school Team age group standard as well as being very serious about wanting to develop their cricketing skill with a view of becoming a professional cricketer.

The program will be very intensive and specific and will be delivered by CCM Academy coaches who are some of the best coaches in the country.
We will be using multiple bowling machines on a regular basis and will spend a lot of time shot grooving to develop the players techniques. When these techniques have been developed we will test them under pressure to make sure they are effective. Players will be introduced to various conditioned game type situations where they will get an understanding of the various different game plan options and how to execute them.


"I have recently had my first experience of working with Gary at his academy. The first thing that struck me was his boundless enthusiasm and energy. This naturally rubs off on the boys and results in their willingness to work at their games for 6 hours a day, which is no mean feat considering that some of the boys are just 9! The result of this tireless approach to improving technique is plain to see. Some of the boys are probably some of the best cricketers for their age in the country. Hour after hour of honing technique, firstly with tennis balls and then more challengingly on a bowling machine; the boys couldn’t get enough due to the enthusiasm and variety Gary gives them.

It was a pleasure to have worked with Gary . I really enjoyed discussing and debating certain aspects of batting technique, a subject close to my heart, and loved the fact that he has very strong views on it that may fly in the face of convention. Very refreshing.

I am quite sure that it will not be too long before we see a test cricketer coming out of his academy."
