Turning cricketers into
High Performance Cricketers
The Academy
The academy is designed to make you a better cricketer and a cricketer who has the tools to dominate the high performance cricket pathways. This means our academy is not limited to technical batting and bowling work but encompasses the full range of skills and knowledge that you need to have to progress in your cricketing journey.
To make sure we give each player the best chance at success each of our academy programs employs specialist coaches who have the skills, knowledge but most importantly the passion to help develop each player.
FC Academy Focus Areas
The Academy is based on the High Performance Framework which can be found under the "High Performance" tab on this website. Each session we hold, each drill we run is working towards achieving these essential goals.
We know what it takes to make it at the highest level and we know how to get players there.
The Academy combines physical and mental skill development. Incorporating the latest technology, coaching methods and old school cricket coaching we develop all aspects of what it takes to be a high performance cricketer!
Our sessions have focus on:
- Batting
- Fast Bowling
- Spin Bowling
- Fielding
- Strength & Conditioning
Academy Structure
As well as technical skill we prioritise the development of your cricket IQ to ensure you: understand how you can best fit into a team environment; develop the attitude coaches/selectors are looking for; giving you the best chance to be selected along the pathway journey.
One of the biggest assets of the Academy is the opportunity to train and compete with other high performance players every week in our sessions. Being around other players with the same goal to dominate is a powerful training tool that lifts the standards of every session.
The Academy is designed to run all year round but is broken up into 4 x 10-week terms. Each term will have a different focus and feel to it depending on the cycle of the cricket season.
A maximum of 15 players per group maintains the coach to player ratio that gives each player the best chance at personal & cricketing development.
Being a 12 month program we regularly see our coaches become more than a coach to the players. Many of our coaching staff become personal mentors and build strong relationships with the players which allows for even greater player development.
