Elite Cricket recently held a one day Boot Camp at Gladesville Indoor Centre.  Players were put through their paces throughout the day including having their bowling action filmed and analysed, net sessions, centre wicket scenarios, specialist spin, pace and wicketkkeping sessions and an individual batting session in the nets against the bowling machine.

The program was a great way for players to start thinking cricket and to gain a clear understanding of what aspects of their game need work before the season begins.  Boot Camps will be held once again in the October school holidays returning to our 2-day format – an intense day of training on the first day and 2 T20 matches on the final day of the program.

Our Pathway To Next Season Program will specifically focus on identifying the tactical and technical areas of your game needing improvement. All participants will leave with a detailed report on the areas of their game that require attention and is a great way to wrap up this season and move forward confidently to 2010-11.

Working individually and in small groups over two days players will work with Elite Cricket coaches in the nets, with the bowling machine and in game scenarios to identify what work needs to be done to improve tactical and technical skills critical to their game for next season.

SPECIAL OFFER: The off-season is an excellent time to work on your skills without the pressure of gameplay and all players in the program will be offered the opportunity to purchase a special promotional package to attend over the winter months a series of 5 x High Performance Individual Coaching sessions but only pay for 4 ($300).
