Advance Youth Strength & Conditioning Platform for Cricket

To play cricket at the highest level requires that each player can meet the demands of the game.  

Cricket is a dynamic game, consisting of various positions, (batter, bowlers, fielders, and wicket-keepers).  Each has specific demands.  The game does require a good level of aerobic conditioning.  Other player performance characteristics, include - 

• High-speed running 

• Accelerations and declarations 

• A range of jumping and landing strategies 

• Cutting and agility strategies 

Through regular strength and conditioning training, this can prepare each player to be sport ready and meet the demands of the game.  By being prepared for their sport, players can play with confidence and express their individual qualities in the game – batter – improved wicket speed, scoring more runs, bowler – faster ball speed, fielder – better agility and getting to the ball faster. 

It is essential that we monitor the long-term development of our youth athletes. 

The Youth Strength & Conditioning Software helps coaches to track their players 

• Library of strength and conditioning tests 

• Upload test scores

• Analyse test scores for future development 

• Support and feedback to athletes

The Youth Strength & Conditioning app empowers each youth athlete to regularly perform their strength and conditioning training. 

Strength and conditioning programmes are fully automated to save time.   Each programme consists of a range of exercises, including neuromuscular training.  Athletes can watch the exercise and drills, which demonstrate optimal form and technique. 

Athletes can upload the repetitions, training loads, and effort level, which is synched to the coach’s portal, allowing the coach to analyse training volume and adherence. 

The youth athletes can select from the below training 

• Strength training – circuit training, squats, deadlifts, press, and rows 

• Plyometric drills – hops, skips, and jumps

All sports have a specific demand.  For players to perform they need to be fully prepared and recovered. 

All aspects of the player's training and recovery - strength and conditioning, sports training, sport competition, and lifestyle factors need to be coached, as they are all linked to sports performance. 

As each player grows and matures, their strength and conditioning training and recovery strategies need to develop with them.  This will give each player every opportunity to perform at the highest level.
