Master Classes
Master classes are our skill-specific offering and enable us to deliver in depth technical and tactical coaching and video analysis to aid understanding and progression within a certain discipline, allowing optimum coach contact time.
These master classes give players the chance to focus on a chosen discipline.

Batting Master Classes
Focusing on both technical and tactical elements of batting, our master classes cover; batting against a new ball; playing against spin; batting in the middle overs; chasing down a score and setting a platform for a big total. We can also work with individuals on particular aspects of their game.

From the basics of bowling through to setting the right field dependent on the game situation, these master classes will ensure your bowlers are taking more wickets and conceding less runs.
