June – August (Part of September)

Small Group High-Performance & Academic Training

The CCA Winter Program is a structured 10–12 week off-season program designed to build strong technical, tactical, and mental foundations.

Delivered in a small group, high-focus environment, the program follows an academic-style curriculum where players learn, practise, and are regularly assessed to ensure measurable improvement.

This is not just off-season training. This is structured development towards high-performance cricket.

Program Objective

To develop players through a step-by-step system combining skill development, biomechanics, and match understanding, while promoting active participation in cricket across the ACT community.
