Welcome to Oman Cricket Academy

About us

The Oman Cricket Academy is based in Al Amerat, Muscat. The academy provides professional and innovative coaching for all ages and levels of ability. Our qualified and experienced coaches will ensure that every session is structured, productive and most importantly enjoyable. Like any sport it is important for cricket players to have a cricket training programme that not only works on the skills of the game but also on strategy, tactics and physical conditioning. A good cricket training program will allow players to be in the best condition possible for the matches and season ahead. As coaches we often get approached by cricketers / parents at the beginning of a cricket season, or worse so, in the middle of a season for “quick fix” coaching sessions. To be successful and to gain a competitive edge over other players, it is vital to follow an ongoing program that keeps a player involved throughout the year, and this is exactly what we can offer at the Oman Cricket Academy.

Our Vision

  • To ensure that every cricketer enjoys all the personal, social and health benefits that sport and exercise provides

Coaching

GROUP COACHING

Group coaching is focused at helping cricketers develop by working on various technical aspects of their game and testing their new skills against other cricketers.
