Our Academy is specifically for cricketers playing in Years 5 to 8. The aim is to give players the skills they need to ensure every time they practice and play, they are improving the skills that will see them shine in the future. Delivered at Karori Park on Friday afternoons, the Academy is intended as a multi-year investment to put in place a pathway for players into our Youth and then Senior sections of the Club. Attendance at the Academy (group sessions) is $75 for Karori Registered players for the season. Players from other clubs are welcome but will be charged a fee. Places are limited. The Cricket Academy is part of our club night! The clubrooms & bar will be open, with hot food available. Come down and support the club and get yourself a drink and dinner.

​

Purpose Statement: Encourage, empower and nurture, giving our future stars the chance to shine.

​

Approach: Experienced coaches and current players working with small groups and teams to improve technical skills, game knowledge and awareness and the enjoyment of cricket. Our Academy Head Coach Abby Carr, will run a structured program which will cover all areas of cricket skills. We will also have guest coaches for specific skills sessions, including fielding, batting and bowling. If your child enjoys the Academy experience then they are able to request 1:1 coaching with Academy coaches but this will be charged per session.

​

Places are limited to ensure those who are able to attend get the individual technical input they need to improve and practice and play properly. 

​

​Age Group: Players will be allocated into suitable small groups, to train with players of a similar age and stage.

​

Cost: $75 for registered Karori Players. There will be a charge of $250 for players not registered with KCC.
