Make sure your child has an extra special Easter break by registering them for the International Cricket Council (ICC) Academy’s Easter Junior and Masterclass camps.
When it comes to learning cricket, there’s no better place than the ICC Academy. Ever since opening their doors at Dubai Sports City, it has become the go-to place for international teams.
That’s no surprise considering they boast world-class facilities and with school breaking up for the term, kids can see for themselves why it’s highly rated through a number of their fun programmes.
Open to boys and girls, they will sharpen their cricket skills through game-based training sessions, make new friends and most of all have fun during the holidays.
Previous editions of their camps have been a big success and this month’s is set to be no different.
Held in the fully air-conditioned, children as young as 6 years old can enjoy learning some of the basics of cricket as well as develop agility, balance and co-ordination, all under the watchful eye of fully-qualified Level 3 coaching staff.
With their vision to ‘become and remain the world’s leading cricket development, performance and education institution’, the ICC continue draw up new initiatives to help the stars of tomorrow.
For the first time, children aged 12 and over can also sign for brand new bowling and batting ‘masterclass’ workshops.
The batting workshop will focus on decision making, execution, batting tactics and all round batting skills. The bowling workshop, designed for players currently playing with hard ball, will focus on alignment variations, bowling tactics and all-round skills development. They will also be able to get feedback through video analysis technology that will help them enhance their overall game.
