The Cricket Academy will offer courses for children aged 7 to 16 years with all levels of experience. Designed by a professional cricketer, the courses will encourage youngsters to learn game skills and improve technique and co-ordination in a fun environment whilst giving each child confidence in their own ability. Coaching will cover every aspect of cricketing skills - batting, bowling, wicket keeping and fielding - all of which will be put into practice under game conditions. Coaches will help children develop at their own pace, guiding them to focus on the specific cricketing discipline that they are showing proficiency in and reach their potential.

Advanced courses will also be available to develop the techniques of youngsters already possessing basic skills, involving specialist sessions and master classes. The cricket facilities at Harlequin’s resorts will also be available for adult teams to undertake intensive pre-season training.

Harlequin also intends to make the Cricket Academy available to local people. Mini tournaments will be arranged for course participants with local teams throughout the year.
