It is not enough to just swing the bat; you need to understand the rhythm and positioning required for different delivery types. These small, technical corrections are what separate a casual player from someone ready for the state level. ### Building the Foundation Technique in cricket is often about what you do before the ball is even bowled. As we teach in our head-position drills, a tilted head or uneven eyes will immediately throw off your balance and judgment. We emphasize a lower, stable stance that allows you to judge the trajectory and line with consistency. This is not just theory; it is the physical foundation we build in every one of our sessions. ### Batting: Managing the Short Ball and Sweep Many players struggle when the ball rises above shoulder height. Our approach is simple: if it is above head height, leave it. If it is in the zone, commit to the pull or cut. For spin, we teach the sweep shot as a 360-degree tool—targeting different areas of the field based on where the ball is pitched. It is about understanding the field settings and playing the ball into the gaps, not just hitting hard. ### Bowling: Rhythm and Accuracy For our bowlers, the focus is on the run-up and release. As former pro Parvinder Awana emphasizes, you do not need to be at max speed from step one. Start slow, build rhythm, and focus on your spot. When the ball stops swinging after a few overs, you must rely on using the crease to create angles. This shift in mindset—from trying to blast the batsman out to outthinking them with geometry—is what defines a skilled bowler. ### Why Our Training Works Whether you are in our high-performance program or a 1-on-1 clinic, we focus on muscle memory. We use video analysis to show you exactly where your stance or bowling action needs correction, giving you immediate feedback that you can take back to your own practice sessions. ## About City Cricket Academy We started City Cricket Academy to provide professional, high-level training that feels like a family environment.
