Led by Mark Lawson (ECB Level 3 & former county cricketer) and George Sommerville (Sixers Head Coach), the Academy is designed for junior players with some hardball experience who want to build their skills, confidence, and match performance.

Each session includes technical skill work, game-based learning and tactical awareness to support all-round development in a supportive, structured environment.

Each week will have a different focus & challenge players, from batting vs spin to bowling variations and everything in between. Wicketkeepers will have time to practice their keeping in nets, with coaches & whilst bowlers are bowling. 

These groups have a coach:player ratio of 1:5

Key features include:

• High-quality weekly coaching
• Technical and tactical development
• Game-based scenarios and net practice
• Grouped by age and ability
• Focus on confidence, consistency & matchplay
