Keepers Corner

The Cricket School of Excellence is upping the game even more with our specialised wicketkeeping training - small groups will be receiving focussed attention from former West Indies and Afghanistan fielding coach Ryan Maron and Zimbabwe provincial player Gilly Muzeya - see more on our Instagram page.

Five sessions will lift your game to the next level as we prepare for the new season.

Contact Ryan today to book your spot - space is limited for this new initiative.

Types of Coaching

  • Bowling

    One on One

    Private cricket coaching will allow your child to enjoy personal 1 on 1 attention with one of our CSA qualified coaches. Our coaches will cover specific points of the game with an aim to focus on the more detailed aspects.

    Batting, bowling, fielding as well as mental aspects of the game are covered in depth.

  • Batting

    Group Coaching

    We conduct private group coaching sessions during cricket season at various venues around the country for that extra bit of attention & practice needed before the game on Saturday or introductory classes to learn the fundamentals of the game.

    To give CSE students enough individual attention, we have a ratio of max 8 players per coach.

  • Cricket ball

    High Performance coaching

    CSE has consistently overseen the development of the best talent coming through the ranks from youth level.

    We continue to offer high performance individual and group training to players who are on the verge of turning professional or looking to cement their place at the top level of club cricket.

    Our network of coaches means these players will only be guided by experienced former national players and coaches.

Adopt A School Programme

Giving back to our communities

Our Adopt a School development initiatives are considered fundamental to what CSE strives to do.

Through partnerships - most recently with Tickmill - we are able to send our coaches to schools in Khayelitsha to introduce the game to young boys and girls.

The Cricket School of Excellence has been associated with Khayelitsha Cricket Club for 15 years and hosts a number of its junior members at Holiday Cricket Clinics during the school holidays.

Our vision is to further develop this programme to include a number of aspects such as playing/learning about cricket, life-skills programs and a mentorship element.

NPC - IKAMVA FUTURE THROUGH SPORT (2017/039151/08)

“We are responding to the need to identify talent within disadvantaged areas as most of this kids who are naturally talented do to have access to programs and facilities that will help them understand the game, gain confidence and further develop their skills,” - Ryan Maron

There’s only one way to take your game to the next level.

They had so much fun and were kept entertained for 2 hours. Lovely prizes for the boys and a thoughtful gift for the birthday boy - such a fantastic party option. Highly recommended.” - Ally Lewis

    Hi Ryan and CSE team, Thanks you so much for welcoming and including Emily and Jennifer this week at the clinic. They absolutely loved it and can't wait to come back. They learnt so much. Thanks to you and the coaches for putting a wonderful clinic together.

  • Tamara

    Thanks to you and the Cricket School of Excellence coaches for a great clinic. Sam and Tim both enjoyed it a lot (especially the Spin Survival defending drill) and it was very sweet seeing all the age mixing when the kids where all playing together during a break and admiring one of the little 5 year old boy’s epic skills. Also nice to see a mix of girls and boys.
