For the young cricketer who wants to take the next step.
Thrive in Cricket Foundations is an eight-week development programme for players who want more than just extra cricket coaching.
Across the programme, players work on their cricket with Matt Bell while also developing the confidence, self-awareness, preparation, emotional skills and performance habits that help them perform better when it matters.
The Performance Life part is taught through real cricket situations — pressure, mistakes, selection, confidence, frustration, preparation and feedback — which makes the learning practical and easier to understand.
The result is not just a better cricketer, but a more capable, independent and self-aware young person.
We run two cohorts:
Foundations Development — typically Years 9–11
Foundations Performance — typically Years 11–13
School year is only a guide. Matt and Ellie will place players in the group that best matches their experience, maturity, confidence and development needs.
Dates: Sundays, 18 October–6 December
Venue: Sydenham Indoor Centre
Price: $650 + GST - payment plan available
Places: Maximum 16 per cohort
