Durham Cricket Academy

DCA boys playing as one team, playing for each other 🏏
Cricket is not just a game it’s a great learning for every kid: teamwork, discipline, and respect. 🌟

Proud of our DCA U11 boys for their effort and teamwork in the opening game of the tournament against NCA U11. It was a narrow loss, but the boys showed great character, passion, and fighting spirit throughout the match.

Every game is a learning experience, and today was another great step forward for our young buddy cricketers. Keep your heads high, keep practicing, and come back stronger next game! 💪🏏

Well played boys!

Master Ground Shots Like a Pro 🔥🏏

This is a simple drill for young cricketers that helps them learn to keep the ball on the ground. The head should remain steady, and the back foot should be positioned correctly. The front foot should lean forward and be slightly bent.

Try to hit the ball with power, but keep it along the ground. You need to wait until the ball is in the correct position so you can generate force from your bat. The contact point is very critical in cricket you need to judge it perfectly to get the right timing.

We don’t just train players we build thinkers of the game.

Play tired. Stay fired. 🔥

Push your limits, bring your A game, and enjoy every moment on the field. 🏏

🚀 Secret to training kids? 🤔

Hide fitness inside FUN.

At Durham Cricket Academy, today’s relay challenge had kids sprinting, laughing, and asking for more!
No complaints. Just competition and pure joy 💥

That’s how champions are made.

Our young cricketers at Durham Cricket Academy came together to send their best wishes to ahead of the T20 Cricket World Cup 2026 in India & Sri Lanka.

Play hard. Play proud.
We’re cheering for you every ball, every run.
💪🔥 All the best, Team Canada!
