PBC Cricket Club

🚀 PBCC Youth Academy 🚀

We’re excited to launch the brand new Palm Beach Currumbin Cricket Club Youth Academy, starting this October - see the attached brochure.
This is a Palm Beach first and a fantastic opportunity for young cricketers across the Gold Coast who are keen to improve, challenge themselves and take their game to the next level.
The Academy is open to all local players — you do not need to be a Palm Beach member to join.

Delivered in partnership with Lucky’s Cricket, the program brings a proven holistic Academy model to the Gold Coast. Lucky has run his 12-week Winter High-Performance Academy for the past six years and the Souths Junior Youth Academy for the past four years, with more than 600 participants across those programs.
Across six Sunday sessions, players will work on:

🏏 Batting, bowling and fielding
🏃‍♂️ Strength and conditioning
🎥 Video analysis
🥅 Goal setting
👩‍✈️ Leadership and culture
🧊 Recovery and mobility
💭 T20 skills and match awareness
💡 Life skills and personal development

Players will also be coached by Palm Beach and Dolphins First and Second Grade players and coaches.
