This year the RCC Cricket Academy is being replaced by a program of Specialist Sessions. These are designed for intermediate to advanced cricketers (boys and girls) from U10-U15s who want to sharpen a particular aspect of their games. To book contact Adam on doc.richmondcricketclub@gmail.com and specify which session(s) you would like to attend.
The first half of each session will cover the specialist skill for that week. The rest of the session we will be in the nets with that specialist focus when batting and bowling.
Coaches will include:
The first 5 weeks will focus on batting: playing against different types of bowling; working out game plans and options against those bowlers; taking into consideration the pitch, conditions and field placings. This is a great way for each individual to have more understanding for when they come up against it this summer in matches.
Week 6 - 10 will focus on more bowling and fielding. We will cover: how to bowl faster; spin the ball more; develop options to different batter; practice change up deliveries; and bowling at the start and at the death of an innings. All very crucial to have in limited over matches.
Fielding - A massive part of the game that I think we all need to improve. That includes the 1st team at Richmond all the way down to the under 6s. The game is moving very quickly and all the formats around the world now including test match cricket have 11 players that need to be able to field well. I want to reintroduce a former mantra of RCC Juniors - "Be the best fielding side in Middlesex".
The weekly schedule is below:
