Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any previous cricket experience to join?
Not at all! Hit Big Cricket Academy welcomes players of all skill levels, from complete beginners to advanced cricketers. Our coaches are experienced in developing personalized training plans based on your current ability. We have special programs designed specifically for beginners to build a strong foundation in cricket fundamentals.
What age groups do you coach?
We provide coaching for all age groups, starting from as young as 6 years old through to adults. Our youth programs (ages 6-16) focus on age-appropriate skill development and enjoyment of the game. Our teenage and adult programs emphasise technical refinement, tactical awareness, and competitive preparation. All programs are adjusted to match the physical and mental development stage of each player.
What equipment do I need to bring?
For your first few sessions, you don't need to invest in any equipment. We provide all necessary training gear including bats, balls, pads, helmets, and gloves. We recommend wearing comfortable sports clothing and appropriate footwear (sports shoes or cricket shoes). As you progress, our coaches can advise on personal equipment that would best suit your playing style and level.
How often should I attend training sessions?
For optimal improvement, we recommend 1-2 sessions per week. Consistency is key in developing cricket skills. However, we understand everyone has different schedules and commitments. Our coaching programs are flexible, and we can design a training schedule that works for you. Even attending one session per week with regular practice between sessions will lead to significant improvement over time.
Can I try a session before committing to a package?
Absolutely! We offer a free 30 min assessment session for new players (Subject to availability). This allows you to experience our coaching approach firsthand and gives our coaches an opportunity to assess your current skills and discuss goals. After this session, we'll recommend the most appropriate training program for your needs. There's no obligation to continue after the free session.
Does Moeen Ali actually participate in the coaching?
While Moeen Ali is our official brand ambassador and regularly provides input on our coaching methodologies, day-to-day coaching is conducted by our team of certified professional coaches led by Coach Priyesh. Moeen makes special appearances at the academy several times a year for special coaching clinics, which are announced in advance to all members.
