Professional Cricket Coaching and Pitch Training in Kandivali
Built by a local cricketer for local talent, our academy focuses on international-standard turf wickets and match-ready training right here in Kandivali East.
I started this academy because I know the struggle. As a kid from Borivali-Kandivali, travelling for hours just for 15 minutes of batting was tough. That's why I focused on making the best pitches right here. Even KKR has practiced on them, which shows their quality. My goal is simple: to find talent here and help them play for the country.
It was an honour to host Australian legend Brett Lee at our academy. Moments like these, where our kids get to interact with their heroes, are priceless. This is the kind of exposure and inspiration we strive to provide.
Nothing makes me prouder than hearing from my students. Listen to them share their experiences about our coaching, the A-grade pitches, and how Homeground has helped them improve their game. Their progress is what drives me every day.
This is what hard work looks like. A huge congratulations to Debjit, Manas, and Aarush for their outstanding performances in the Giles Shield tournament. These results are a direct product of their dedication during our high-quality skill training sessions.
We build complete athletes. Our cricket-specific fitness training includes everything from agility ladder drills for quick footwork to resistance band exercises for strength. We believe being sore today makes you stronger tomorrow.
We provide our players with real match experience at iconic venues. Here are our juniors playing a competitive match at the prestigious Brabourne Stadium against CCI. This is the kind of exposure that builds champions.
As the founder, I am personally involved in the training every single day. My mantra is simple: hard work, dedication, discipline, and repetition. I am here to guide every budding cricketer on their journey.
Seven years of passion, dedication, and building dreams. This aerial view shows our home, where countless hours of hard work have been put in by our students and coaches. We are proud of the community we have built.
About Featured
The biggest difference in our training is the surface quality. While most local academies rely on matting or cement, we maintain professional-grade red soil turf wickets. When you practice here, you face the same bounce and turn you will encounter in competitive matches, which builds the real-game confidence that basic net sessions just cannot provide.
I started this academy with one goal: to fix the frustration I faced as a kid. Growing up in Borivali, I would spend hours traveling to Churchgate or Dadar, dragging a heavy kit bag, just to get fifteen minutes of batting time. I wanted to build a place in Kandivali where local kids could get the same facilities without the commute.
Why Our Setup is Different
We don't just offer nets; we offer a training ground. Our wickets are maintained to the standard where IPL teams have trained. This means the ball behaves exactly as it would on a match day, forcing you to develop proper footwork and decision-making.
The Training Philosophy
Our coaching mantra is simple: 'Are tension mat le, ball ko aane de!' (Don't stress, let the ball come!). We combine high-intensity skill work with:
- Cricket-Specific Fitness: Using resistance bands, agility ladders, and medicine balls to build explosive power, not just bulk.
- Mental Conditioning: Workshops on focus, anxiety control, and handling pressure.
- Match Exposure: We push for slots in MCA-affiliated tournaments like the Kanga League and Giles Shield to ensure your training translates to real results.
Whether you are a beginner looking to understand the basics of stance and grip or an advanced player needing video analysis for technique correction, we have a batch for you. We provide the infrastructure; you bring the discipline. If you are ready for the grind, this is your home ground.
