COACHING WITH DIRECTION
More than another
hour in the nets.
Every player brings a different game. Their coaching should reflect that.
For younger cricketers, sessions focus on developing skills and understanding at a level that suits them. As players progress, we work on the processes, decisions and strengths they can rely on in a match.
Give practice a purpose
Choose a clear focus and work through challenges suited to their stage of development.
Connect training to matches
Build practical game plans and process goals. For older players, use statistics to inform the next step.

informed by study and experience.
Ethan is the founder and coach behind Next Phase Cricket. He welcomes players of all ages, tailoring coaching to their experience, strengths and development goals.
He holds a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science (Honours) from Deakin University. His research explored how challenge affects learning, specifically whether technical and tactical challenge can be differentiated.
His coaching brings together skill development, process goals and practical game plans. For older players, statistical analysis offers another way to understand performance and guide development.
