Coaching

Personalised sessions that sharpen batting, bowling, and fielding, and build the confidence to use them under pressure.

Leagues

Competitive weekend matches where players learn teamwork, sportsmanship, and how to read a game.

Camps

Structured school-holiday camps covering fitness and cricket fundamentals. Summer camps are 10% off this season.

Learn. Play. Shine.

Every player follows the same three steps.

The words on our badge are the way we actually coach. A child starts on the fundamentals, moves into weekly match play, and steps up to representative cricket when they are ready.

Learn

Grip, stance, run-up and the laws of the game, taught in a squad of players at the same standard.

Play

Weekly sessions move from drills into match situations, so skills get used under real pressure.

Shine

Leagues, our own tournament, and a route towards representative cricket for players who want it.

Coaching parents can actually follow.

Every player trains in a squad matched to their age and standard, and every parent can see how that player is progressing.

Parent portal

Squads grouped by age and standard

Beginners are not thrown in with experienced players. Each squad works on the skills that matter at its level.

Attendance and feedback recorded every session

Coaches log who attended and what each player worked on, so nothing depends on a conversation at pickup.

Progress you can check any time

Sign in to the parent portal to see your child's schedule, attendance, and coach feedback in one place.

Questions parents ask.

My child has never played cricket. Can they still join?

Yes. Squads are grouped by age and standard, so complete beginners train with other beginners and start on the fundamentals.

What equipment does my child need to bring?

Comfortable sportswear and trainers are enough for a first session. Tell us what your child already owns when you book and we will confirm what to bring.

How much do sessions cost?

Pricing depends on the programme and how many sessions you book. Contact us and we will send the current rates.

Do you run sessions through the winter?

Get in touch for the current off-season schedule.

Do you coach adults?

No. Astra Champions Academy is a youth academy, and every programme we run is for young players only.

How do I follow my child's progress?

Coaches record attendance and written feedback after each session. You can read it any time in the parent portal.
