When I was young I didn’t have the opportunity to play cricket. My Academy is all about giving you the chance to learn, develop, play, and above all enjoy your cricket and be the best that you want to be.

We pride ourselves at AFCA on creating an energetic and fun environment, to allow you to develop the skills for longer term success on the cricket in some challenges and games for good measure too!

I hope to see you during the Academy but if I can’t make it I will send one of my International Cricket

as easy to get them out as me!

Above all, have fun and enjoy everything you do in cricket. It’s the best game in the world!
