July Boot Camp

In the nets at Boot CampBoot Camp Warm Up Drills

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.
