Unleash your child’s cricket potential with the Grafton Development Academy!

Back for the 2025-26 season

This program is designed by Grafton's Junior Coach to prepare young lions and lionesses who dream big and want to reach their full potential for the upcoming season by focusing on skill development, tactical awareness, fitness, and match readiness. It aligns with Auckland Cricket’s community coaching philosophy to make training enjoyable, structured, and developmental. This isn’t just cricket training – it’s a chance to build confidence, make new friends, and enjoy the excitement of the game.

With limited spots to ensure personal attention, your child will receive focused coaching and mentorship. Through achievable goals and measurable progress, players will grow confident, motivated, and ready for the season ahead. Give your child the opportunity to develop, perform, and shine on the field!
