He pointed out that the education of coaches was also a critical aspect of overall game development and was regarded as a priority.
One parent commented that his son had found the session enjoyable. “He liked the more structured approach and found the targets to be beneficial in improving his skills. The coaches were helpful and made the environment a great place to learn.”
A young cricketer told the Herald the coaching has helped to develop his game, both technically and physically.
“This training has given me a clearer idea of the areas I need to improve,” he said.
