TESTIMONIALS
If you are serious about cricket, South Manchester Cricket Academy should be your first choice. The facilities, structured training, and expert coaching provide everything a young player needs to grow. I have seen the results first-hand and can confidently say you won’t regret choosing SMCA for your cricketing journey
The coaches at SMCA go far beyond just teaching cricket. They guide players on fitness, set drills for practice at home, review videos to give feedback, and have specialists for both batting and bowling. They even pitch in with practical help like getting bats repaired. Their dedication and personal care make all the difference in a child’s growth.
My son, Abhinav (12), has been training with South Manchester Cricket Academy since winter 2024. Earlier, he struggled to score beyond single digits and often came home disappointed. At SMCA, his improvement has been remarkable in a short span — he is now an opener for the 2025 season. As a parent, it’s truly rewarding to see his progress, and I feel confident he is on the right path
