The Active Cricket Academy is for children aged preschool through to 14 years, providing a fun, supportive, and structured environment to learn and enjoy cricket. Whether your child is just starting out or looking to refine advanced skills, our Academy has something for everyone.
Our aim is to develop skills, build confidence, and inspire a love of cricket in a safe and positive environment.
Our cricket programmes provide a fun and structured pathway for children of all ages and abilities to learn and develop.
From beginner sessions to advanced training, players build skills, confidence and a love for the game in a supportive environment.
Our cricket camps and masterclass sessions provide players with the opportunity to develop their skills in a fun, engaging and supportive environment. Through a mix of game-based activities, mini matches and focused coaching, children can improve all areas of their game while building confidence and teamwork.
Masterclass sessions offer more specialised coaching, focusing on key skills such as batting, bowling and wicket-keeping, helping players refine their technique and take their performance to the next level.
Our year-round club training is designed to suit all ages and abilities. During the winter, indoor net sessions for ages 8–14 focus on developing technical skills such as batting, bowling and fielding, helping players refine their technique in the off-season.
In the summer, outdoor weekly training for ages 11–14 includes game-based drills and match practice to improve skills, teamwork and match awareness. Players aged U10–U14 also have the opportunity to take part in competitive matches, allowing them to apply their skills in a supportive environment while building confidence and understanding of the game.
Our 1:1 coaching sessions provide personalised support tailored to each player’s needs, helping them to develop specific skills such as batting, bowling or wicket-keeping. With focused attention from our experienced coaches, players can improve their technique, build confidence and gain a deeper understanding of the game.
We welcome boys and girls from ages 4 to 16. Our sessions are grouped by age and ability to ensure every child gets the most out of their experience, whether they’re just starting or already playing regularly.

Children should wear comfortable sports clothing and suitable footwear—trainers or football boots, depending on the venue. We also recommend bringing a water bottle, shin pads (if required), and appropriate clothing for the weather. For outdoor sessions, please pack a rain jacket or sun protection when needed.
We aim to run sessions in most weather conditions, but if the weather is unsafe or too severe, we’ll contact you as early as possible with any changes or cancellations. In some cases, sessions may be moved indoors or rescheduled.
