The Glasgow Academy is again running coaching courses during the Easter holidays for any young and enthusiastic cricketer. The courses will be organised and delivered by Mr Vedam Hariharan who is the cricket professional with the Academy during the summer, and a leading overseas coach in Australian and Indian Cricket Centres of Excellence.
These courses will take place at The Glasgow Academy. Several facilities will be used to provide the best possible environment for learning and developing cricket skills and knowledge. This will include the sports hall, which now offers four high quality net areas and the option of splitting into three large open working areas, a smaller gym which provides an ideal venue for more intense technical work in small groups and a large astro-turf area.
The aim of the courses is to provide an exciting environment to learn and develop cricketing skills under expert tuition. Boys and girls are equally welcome to attend these courses. Also, both novice and experienced cricketers will find the courses valuable. All specialist equipment will be provided, although if boys and girls have their own equipment they will be welcome to use it on the courses. The only requirement will be to wear appropriate cricket/leisure clothing and non-marking indoor trainers.
The courses last for a week from Monday 11th - Friday 15th April 2011. There are two different times for the courses, so hopefully there will be an opportunity for all those who want to attend to find a course at a suitable time.
- U13 Course 1 – Monday 11th April - Friday 15th April, 8.30am - 10.30am
- U13 Course 2 – Monday 11th April - Friday 15th April, 10.45am - 12.45pm
Each course will cost £25.
Also running will be coaching for some of our young cricketers (13 to 18 years) at the school sports hall during the first week of Easter holidays from April 4th to 8th, 2011. To improve their batting skills there will be a bowling machine used and there will also be a video analysis of batting and bowling. As he will be working with small numbers, places are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
- 13-18 Years Course - Monday 4th April - Friday 8th April - 9.30 am to 12.30 pm
Course costs £35.
