Youth Cricket

At North Atlanta Cricket Academy (NACA) we believe that every cricketer should have the opportunity to explore their own abilities and become the best version of themselves possible. With our holistic program approach, we encourage each player to grow their potential and develop as a cricketer both on and off the field.

North Atlanta Cricket Academy (NACA) was established in 2020 and is a 501 (c) (3) certified nonprofit organization based in Atlanta with a mission to coach cricket to young boys and girls of the community. NACA is a part of the youth member league of USA Cricket Association, an associate member of International Cricket Council.

We recognize that everyone is on their own journey, so we offer a range of programs to shape a player’s cricket future, from grassroots to high performance and all levels in between with the end goal to build individual capacity and confidence. We never lose sight of the importance of keeping fun and enjoyment front and center during training. Our ultimate dream is to grow the love for cricket and facilitate personal growth for every North Atlanta Cricket Academy player.

During the Fall, Spring and Summer sessions at NACA, we offer 3 distinct opportunities to learn about the game from age 4-6 to 18+

Future Stars: For players in this group, the focus is on learning the fundamentals of the game: the rules, safety, how to use equipment, field positioning and getting started playing actual matches.

Standard Batch: Players in this group have some experience with the sport and our focus with this group is to improve their overall skills, technique, fitness, and game awareness.

Advanced Batch: Players in this group focus on advanced skills training, drills, professional athletic fitness training and match experience. Players from the advanced batch are all “probable’s” for competitive age-group tournaments that occur across the USA including age group league tournaments conducted by USA Cricket. NACA also selects players from this group to participate in the prestigious Kings College Cricket Festival in Taunton, UK where NACA players get the opportunity to compete with English County level age group teams.

Additionally, NACA is pleased to present an extra opportunity for those players seeking additional training. During the Spring and Fall, we are offering an extra “training session” with a professional cricket coach and mentors at a local park. This session will focus on cricket fundamentals, individual skill introduction to batting, bowling, and fielding through fun drills designed to increase excitement for players who are exploring the sport.
