Elite Winter Programmes 2024

The North East Cricket Academy are now taking expressions of interest for our Elite Pre-Season Programmes. These programmes start w/c 15th January to w/c 25th March 2024 and will be running at U13 and U16/18 age groups.

Our Elite programmes are aimed at young players who have already played or are ready to play representative cricket, and we work to make sure their game is in the best possible position heading into the upcoming season.

To express an interest in one of these programmes, please fill in the form at the bottom of the page and send it to keith.newell@southnorth.co.uk. You will also find a bursary application form (subject to conditions) which can be filled in - we are keen to ensure that as many young cricketers as possible are able to access our programmes.

Further information regarding the programme can be found below:

The NECA Elite Player Development Programme consists of 10 x 2 hour sessions specifically designed to challenge and improve young players who have already played or are ready to play representative cricket. In 2024, these programmes will initially be invite only.

The programme is headed by South Northumberland Cricket Club's Director of Coaching and supporting Level ECB 2, 3 or 4 coaches will offer a diverse range of specific skills coaching alongside their own high level playing experience.

Players can expect a maximum of 25 high-level attendees on their respective age group course, which will ensure a low player to coach ratio to optimise player contact time:

  • 20 hours of net time & skills coaching covering all aspects of the game

  • Modern drills and practice methods as used by many current First Class Players

  • Strength & Conditioning built into the programme

  • Use of Bola Ball Machines

Please note that there will be no sessions w/c 19th February.
