Review of the Academy Programme 6. Academy roll of honour 1. Introduction There are currently 18 ECB funded county academies. The purpose of the county academy system is to develop players capable of performing at first class and International level. Academy programmes are holistic in their approach and deliver a balance of technical, tactical, physical, mental, leadership and lifestyle skills. Established in 2003, the Kent Cricket Academy gives talented young cricketers, aged 16 – 19, an opportunity to benefit from professional training and education whilst still at school or college. The Academy aims to develop home grown players and prepare them for a future in the professional game. The introduction of an ‘associate’ academy aims to provide additional support and development opportunities to players, aged 16 – 19, who have the future potential to gain a place on the full academy programme. The aim is to provide greater opportunity and visibility to a larger number of players within an elite environment. Players on the associate programme will also be able to access high quality coaching and sports science support that incorporates a 'total life' approach. They will also have the opportunity at key points throughout the year to be moved through to the full academy programme. The Emerging Players Programme (EPP) will provide additional support and development opportunities to players aged 14 – 16 and is a comprehensive and structured programme designed to help young players with the transition between the county age group squads and our academy programmes.
