From Academy Nets to the National Stage
We don't just teach cricket; we build careers. See how our students progress from the academy nets to representing state and national teams.
A proud moment for our academy. We celebrate our student Sweta Sehrawat on her selection as the Vice-Captain for the India 'A' Women's Squad. Her leadership and skill are an inspiration to all our players.
A fantastic debut on the international stage. Our bowler Tanuja Kanwar made an immediate impact for Team India, returning figures of 1 for 14 in her four overs. This shows how our players are prepared for high-pressure moments.
The joy of a dream realized. This collage captures the moment our student Tanuja Kanwar made her debut for Team India, surrounded by her new teammates. We are so proud to have been a part of her journey.
Before playing for the country, the hard work happens here. This is Tanuja Kanwar during a focused batting session at our academy, perfecting her technique against the backdrop of our motto: "Champions are made not born."
Seeing our players alongside cricket legends is a special feeling. This newspaper feature for the Delhi Premier League shows our student Shweta Sehrawat featured with stars like Rishabh Pant and Virender Sehwag.
Even top players keep refining their skills. Here is Shweta Sehrawat in the nets at our academy, preparing for the Delhi Premier League with a powerful batting practice session.
About Pathway to Pro: Our Student Successes
When our students step onto the field for state or national trials, they aren't surprised by the pressure because we replicate high-stakes match scenarios in every training session. We use 4-piece leather balls, sidearm throw-downs, and video analysis to force players to adapt to match-pace intensity daily. This is the exact environment that helped players like Sweta Sehrawat and Tanuja Kanwar build the technical and mental toughness required to make their national debuts.
How We Build Pros
Transitioning from local club cricket to professional leagues requires more than just good technique. It demands high-pressure exposure and mental resilience. Our 'Pathway to Pro' program is designed to bridge this gap.
Real-World Match Experience We believe you cannot learn cricket in a vacuum. Our students regularly play against international-level teams and compete in high-stakes tournaments like the Delhi Premier League. These aren't just practice games; they are opportunities to face real match pressure, learn decision-making, and handle the nerves that come with playing in front of crowds.
Individualized Technical Correction We do not believe in a 'one-size-fits-all' curriculum. Whether a player is a budding pace bowler or a top-order batter, our mentors—including former first-class cricketers—conduct intensive one-on-one sessions. We use high-speed video analysis to break down mechanics, from grip and stance to the final follow-through. If you are struggling with a specific flaw, we fix it at the root using specialized drills rather than just telling you to 'practice more'.
The 'Cricket Family' Support Success is lonely without the right people around you. Our coaches, including specialized female mentors, provide the psychological support and strategic guidance necessary to navigate the highs and lows of a professional career. Our community is built on mutual support, where senior players and alumni often return to guide those just starting their journey.
- Facilities: Astro-turf and matting wickets.
- Focus: Strength & Conditioning (S&C) integrated into the schedule.
- Goal: Preparing students for BCCI-level trials and franchise leagues.
